409 F.2d 513 - Arciniaga v. United States — 409 F.2d 513

¶1Conrad G. Walker (argued), San Diego, Cal., for appellant.

¶2Phillip W. Johnson (argued), Asst. U. S. Atty., Edwin L. Miller, Jr., U. S. Atty., San Diego, Cal., for appellee.

¶3Before CHAMBERS and DUNIWAY, Circuit Judges, and YON DER HEYDT,* District Judge.

¶5PER CURIAM:

¶6The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

¶7This was a border crossing case with a rubber contraption containing narcotics which defendant had swallowed, lodging in the stomach. The package was retrieved by causing an emetic to be given to Arciniaga.

¶8We have had a number of alimentary canal cases involving narcotics. Some of them are:

Blackford v. United States, 9 Cir., 247 F.2d 745, cert. denied 356 U.S. 914, 78 S.Ct. 672, 2 L.Ed.2d 586.

Blefare v. United States, 9 Cir., 362 F.2d 870.

Rivas v. United States, 9 Cir., 368 F.2d 703.

Henderson v. United States, 9 Cir., 390 F.2d 805.

Huguez v. United States, 9 Cir., 406 F.2d 366, decided Sept. 30, 1968.

We find this one closest to Rivas.

¶9Other points asserted we find without merit.
