Text
* Pursuant to 5 TH C IR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5 TH C IR . R. 47.5.4. IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 97-40068 Summary Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus GUADALUPE SOLIS, Defendant-Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. C-96-196 October 17, 1997 Before JONES, SMITH and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: * Guadalupe Solis appeals his conviction for possession with the intent to distribute marijuana.
He argues that the prosecutorÂ’s questioning of him during cross-examination was improper inasmuch as it tended to show his propensity to commit offens es similar to the charged offense. We have reviewed the record, including the briefs and the trial transcript, and find that the introduction of the single isolated question was not error. Further, in light of the overwhelming evidence of guilt presented against Solis at trial, there is not a significant possibility that the question had a substantial impact on the juryÂ’s verdict. S ee United States v. Williams , 957 F.2d 1238, 1244 (5th Cir. 1992).
AFFIRMED.
