Opinions

PER CURIAM:

We affirm the judgment of conviction in this border crossing case, where a medically conducted search of the appellant’s rectum disclosed a package of heroin.

As in Arciniaga v. United States, 409 F.2d 513 (9th Circuit, decided April 3, 1969), the facts and the trial court’s findings in this case more closely resemble Rivas v. United States, 368 F.2d 703 (9th Cir. 1966), cert. den. 386 U.S. 945, 87 S.Ct. 980, 17 L.Ed.2d 875 (1967), than they do other “alimentary canal cases” involving narcotics. Evidence was sufficient to establish a “clear indication” of the possession of narcotics by appellant.

The other errors alleged as to introduction of evidence and sentencing we find without merit.
