Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
FERNANDO MEZOMO DE LEON,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. B-99-CR-169-1
--------------------
August 30, 2000
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DUHÉ, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:1
Fernando Mezomo-DeLeon appeals from his conviction of
transporting aliens. He contends solely that the evidence was
insufficient to support his conviction. A reasonable jury could
have found beyond a reasonable doubt from the evidence that Mezomo
moved aliens inside the United States; that the aliens were present
in violation of the law; that Mezomo was aware of the aliens’
status; and that Mezomo acted wilfully in furtherance of the
aliens’ violation of the law. United States v. Romero-Cruz, 201
F.3d 374, 376 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 120 S. Ct. 2017 (2000).
Accordingly, the judgment is
AFFIRMED.
