Opinion — Per Curiam

PER CURIAM:

Figueroa drove his car from Mexico into the United States. A search at the border disclosed 50 kilograms of marihuana concealed in a compartment of the trunk of the car. Figueroa denied knowing that it was there. He now appeals from his smuggling conviction under 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 , 960 and 963. His sole contention is that the evidence was insufficient. Appointed counsel has argued the point fully and ably, but it is without merit. United States v. Asco-lani-Gonzalez, 9 Cir., 1971, 449 F.2d 159 . Affirmed.
