United States v. Francisco Armendaris
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided June 3, 1986No. 85-5164PublishedCited by 5 opinions
1Per curiam
In this appeal, the United States of America seeks reversal of the district court’s final judgment in favor of appellee, Francisco Armendaris, in an action arising out of the nonpayment of a fine assessed against Armendaris for transporting fourteen undocumented Cuban aliens into Southern Florida during the Mariel boatlift. After a trial on the merits, the district court found that Armendaris acted under duress and coercion by the Cuban authorities and was therefore not liable for the fine imposed under 8 U.S.C. § 1323 (1982). 1 We affirm.
