Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. L-99-CR-536-1
______________________________________
July 25, 2000
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, DeMOSS and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Samuel Trevino appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress. He argues that
the checkpoint operated by the Border Pat rol was constitutionally inadequate. The checkpoint at
issue here is substantially similar to one that passed constitutional muster in United States v. Venegas-
Sapien, 762 F.2d 417 (5th Cir. 1985). Trevino has not shown, and we cannot discern, any material
differences between the two checkpoints. Consequently, Trevino has failed to demonstrate error on
the part of the district court, and that court’s denial of Trevino’s motion to suppress is AFFIRMED.
