                            _________________________

                                       (April 4, 2006)

Before TJOFLAT and HULL, Circuit Judges, and RESTANI *, Judge.

       *
         Honorable Jane A. Restani, Chief Judge, United States Court of International Trade,
sitting by designation.

                                               2
PER CURIAM:

      After review and oral argument, we find no reversible error in the district

court’s denial of the defendants’ motion to dismiss the indictment for lack of

jurisdiction. The vessel in issue was one without nationality that was subject to

United States jurisdiction under 46 U.S.C. app. § 1903. Accordingly, we affirm

the defendants’ convictions.

      AFFIRMED.

                                          3
