United States v. Arthur Lynn Palmer
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided March 11, 1970 · Haynsworth, Boreman, Winter
422 F.2d 620; 1970 U.S. App. LEXIS 10343 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Arthur Lynn Palmer

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The defendant was convicted of the interstate transportation of a stolen motor vehicle upon evidence that the vehicle had been stolen in New York, that the defendant had driven it to Greer, South Carolina, where he attempted to sell it for half its wholesale value, that an attempt had been made to alter the serial number, and that the defendant had claimed that he had purchased the car from a person, who, upon investigation, turned out to be fictitious.

In this appeal the defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to convict. Clearly, there was much more than the minimum necessary to take such a case to the jury. The appeal is quite fruitless and oral argument is unnecessary. The conviction is summarily affirmed.

Affirmed.
