Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit December 5, 1977, 76-3537, 76-3752 (United States v. Steve Kent Odneal, United States of America v. John Louis Ribando, George M. Challman Iii, and Harold Louis Bennett)

HUFSTEDLER, Circuit Judge:

Appellants were convicted for possessing with intent to distribute two tons of marihuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). The issue is whether the district court erred in denying appellants’ motion to suppress the marihuana found aboard a yacht by members of the Coast Guard and by a customs officer.
