Text: Rodriguez’s argument that the evidence implicating him in the first conspiracy was insufficient to support his conviction is without merit. Gonzalez’s testimony established Rodriguez’s frequent presence at Garcia’s ranch before the July 1988 marijuana shipment as well as Rodriguez’s participation in both the loading of marijuana into Garcia’s trailer at Gomez’s ranch and the unloading of the marijuana at Shorty Pedraza’s home near Giddings. Gomez also testified to Rodriguez’s presence at his ranch when the July 1988 shipment was loaded into Garcia’s trailer. The fact that Gonzalez and Gomez generally referred to Rodriguez as “Lencho,” the name listed in the indictment as an “a/k/a” for Rodriguez, does not reduce the evidentiary weight of their testimony or in-court identifications of Rodriguez, as Rodriguez seems to argue.
