United States v. Luis Ramirez, Leopoldo Alegria-Valencia, Antonio G. Rodriguez

EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:

Appellants, Luis Ramirez, Leopoldo Al-egría-Valencia, and Antonio G. Rodriguez were convicted following a jury trial for various violations of the Federal Controlled Substances Act. Alegría, and possibly Rodriguez, challenge the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (“DEA”) search of luggage and other items which were left in an abandoned hotel room. Ramirez urges that a Brady 1 violation occurred. All three appellants question the sufficiency of the evidence and the failure of the district court to give certain jury instructions. We affirm.
