v.
RAMON SANCHEZ CARBAJAL, also known as Ramon Carbajal
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 4:05-CR-229-1
Before REAVLEY, DENNIS and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ramon Sanchez Carbajal appeals his conditional guilty-plea conviction for
possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841.
He asserts that the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress
incriminating statements made to law enforcement agents. Carbajal maintains
that the agents coerced his guilty plea by allowing him to meet with his
pregnant wife before taking him to jail and by telling his wife that she should

convince Carbajal to cooperate with their investigation. The totality of the
circumstances shows that Carbajal's statements were made without
governmental coercion. See United States v. Cardenas, 410 F.3d 287, 292-93 (5th
Cir. 2005); United States v. Bell, 367 F.3d 452, 461 (5th Cir. 2004). The
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
