United States v. Fabio Alonso

KANE, District Judge.

Fabio Alonso was convicted by a jury of possession of a controlled substance under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), and importation of a controlled substance in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 952(a). On appeal, Alonso raises four grounds for reversal or remand: (1) insufficiency of the evidence; (2) the trial court’s denial of a motion to suppress evidence derived from an electronic beeper device; (3) the trial court’s denial of a motion to suppress evidence gained from a warrantless arrest; and (4) the trial court’s refusal to issue Alonso’s tendered “mere presence” jury instruction.…
