Albert Arciniaga v. United States

PER CURIAM: The judgment of conviction is affirmed. This 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. We 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. Other points asserted we find without merit.
