Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Decided June 1, 1988No. 1150, Docket 87-1439PublishedCited by 26 opinions
1Per curiam
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction entered in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York following a jury trial before the Honorable Joseph M. McLaughlin. Appellant, who was convicted of importing heroin into the United States, claims on appeal that the district court erroneously instructed the jury on “conscious avoidance”, and therefore his conviction should be vacated. Although we agree with appellant that the court’s instruction was incomplete, we do not believe that the court committed plain error, and we therefore affirm.
