Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit June 28, 2001, No. 00-50381; D.C. No. CR-99-792-2-VAP (United States v. Garcia-Aranda)

MEMORANDUM ***

There was ample evidence at trial from which a rational jury could have found that Aranda (1) seized or detained another person and (2) threatened to kill, injure or continue to detain that person (3) with the purpose of compelling a third person to act, or refrain from acting, in some way. See 18 U.S.C. § 1203; United States v. Carrion-Caliz, 944 F.2d 220, 225 (5th Cir.1991).
