212 F3d 1194 United States of America v. Jesus Ivan Cordoba-Mosquera Erwin Arnulfo Zuniga 212 F.3d 1194 (11th Cir. 2000)
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee,v.JESUS IVAN CORDOBA-MOSQUERA, a.k.a. Jesus Ivan Cordoba, ERWINARNULFO ZUNIGA, a.k.a. Zuniga Erwin Menoscal, et al., Defendants-Appellants.
No. 97-5286.
Defendants Jesus Ivan Cordoba-Mosquera, Erwin Arnulfo Zuniga, and Alfredo Gilberto Pinkay-Reyes appeal their convictions for conspiracy to import cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 963, importation of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 952(a), conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute it in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, and possession with intent to distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Together the defendants argue the seven issues listed below challenging their convictions and sentences and arguing for a new trial. We affirm the convictions, vacate the orders of deportation as a condition of supervised release, and remand for re-sentencing.
Defendants' argument that the district court lacked jurisdiction over their prosecutions is frivolous. The argument focuses on 46 U.S.C. app. § 1903, but defendants were not prosecuted under this statute but under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), 21 U.S.C. § 846, 21 U.S.C. § 952(a), and 21 U.S.C. § 963. The issue of whether the Coast Guard complied with the requirements of 46 U.S.C. app. § 1903 has no bearing on the district court's jurisdiction over defendants' prosecutions.
Even if the remedies requested by defendants may be available in some cases involving Article 36 violations, those remedies are not available absent a showing of prejudice. Cf. United
