United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant's conviction for being a removed alien found in the U.S. is affirmed where: 1) a border patrol agent's testimony laid a sufficient foundation for the evidence against defendant to be admissible; and 2) testimony that a search of a computer database revealed no record of a matter did not violate the best evidence rule when it was offered without the production of an "original" printout showing the search results.
