Ninth Circuit -- USA V. ROGELIO ESPINOZA-BAZA

USA V. ROGELIO ESPINOZA-BAZA

 No error in not allowing testimony as to citizenship of grandfather - deft was mounting a derivative citizenship defense - while relevant, potentially confusing and insufficiently probative.

 A mere scintilla of evidence in the record is insufficient to justify a jury instruction on the theory.

Multiple illegal entries properly grouped and given the multiple offenses sentencing bump.

No substantive/procedural error in sentencing.
