Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Decided July 28, 1995No. 93-2242PublishedCited by 34 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

DYER, Senior Circuit Judge:

The government indicted Ana Ruiz, Jose Aviles, and William Perez for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. This appeal followed the jury’s guilty verdict as to all three defendants. 1 We find no merit in the arguments presented by Aviles and Perez, and affirm their convictions without opinion. See 11th Cir.R. 36-1. Ruiz asserts the district court erroneously refused her jury instruction on a mistake of fact defense. We agree and reverse her conviction. 2
