Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
_________________________
(June 27, 2005)
Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and COX, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Michael Giorango appeals his conviction, following a jury trial, for violation
of the Travel Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1952. Having considered the briefs, and relevant parts
of the record, we conclude that there was sufficient evidence for the jury to have
found that Giorango promoted or facilitated Judy Krueger’s prostitution enterprise.
See Rewis v. United States, 418 F.2d 1218, 1220-21 (5th Cir. 1969), rev’d on other
grounds, 401 U.S. 808, 91 S. Ct. 1056 (1971), (“The language of the [Travel Act]
appears clearly to be aimed at those . . . people who aid, help or assist the promotion
of, or making easier or possible, the illegal actions . . . .”); see also United States v.
Corona, 885 F.2d 766, 773 (11th Cir. 1989). Giorango’s conviction and sentence is,
therefore,
AFFIRMED.
