November 27, 2000
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Rosalba Dominguez-Hernandez, who was convicted of possession
with intent to distribute marijuana, appeals the district court’s
denial of her motion to suppress her confession. She argues that
the language and tactics used by Border Patrol Agent Nick
Harrison amounted to coercion, which rendered her confession
involuntary.
We have reviewed the record and under the totality of
circumstances, we hold that the district court did not err in
holding the confession to be voluntary. United States v. Mullin,
