v.
HECTOR RUIZ
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 2:06-CR-532-1
Before KING, DAVIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Hector Ruiz appeals his jury-trial conviction for possession with intent to
distribute over 1000 kilograms of marijuana. Ruiz asserts that the district court
erred in denying his motion to continue the trial to provide him with additional
time to review discovery and prepare for trial. He has not established that the
district court abused its discretion or that he suffered serious prejudice as a
result of the court’s denial of the motion. See United States v. Scott, 48 F.3d
*
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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
No. 07-40069

1991). The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
