   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1135
                          and No:  11-1172
                          and No:  11-1373
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - conviction and sentence. In consolidated appeals following guilty verdicts for conspiring to distribute marijuana and immigration offenses, the judgments are affirmed. Ruiz-Zarate cannot raise Fourth Amendment claim because he had no reasonable expectation of privacy in car he neither owned nor was near at the time of the stop. Sufficient evidence was presented for a reasonable jury to conclude both Ruiz-Zarate and Guerrero-Ramirez participated in the conspiracy to distribute marijuana and aided and abetted in the possession with intent to distribute. District court did not err in applying enhancement for possession of the revolver because gun could have been constructively possessed and in determining it was not clearly improbable that the gun was connected to the drug offense. District court did not plainly err in imposing the enhancement.
