June 28, 1999
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Valerie Marie Torrez appeals her conviction for importation
of, and possession with the intent to distribute, marijuana. She
contends solely that the evidence was insufficient to establish
that she knew that marijuana was hidden in her vehicle. We have
reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties and hold that
the evidence was sufficient for a reasonable jury to find Torrez
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. United States v. Anchondo-
Sandoval, 910 F.2d 1234, 1236-37 (5th Cir. 1990).
AFFIRMED.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
