UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jose BARRAJAS, Defendant-Appellant. No. 89-50561. United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit. Argued and Submitted Dec. 5, 1990. Decided Jan. 23, 1991. Before JAMES R. BROWNING, PREGERSON and LEAVY, Circuit Judges. 1 MEMORANDUM * 2 Barrajas was convicted by a jury of conspiracy to distribute heroin and possession of heroin with intent to distribute. Barrajas raises seven issues on this appeal. We reject each of Barrajas' contentions and affirm. 3 Barrajas claims his oral waiver of his Miranda rights was ineffective in light of his refusal to sign a written Miranda waiver form. Both the Supreme Court and this court have held that the district court may properly find a waiver of Miranda rights despite a suspect's failure to sign a waiver form. North Carolina v.
