United States v. Richard Glynn Byrd
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided May 28, 1974 · Bell, Godbold, In-Graham, Per Curiam
494 F.2d 1284; 1974 U.S. App. LEXIS 8446 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Richard Glynn Byrd

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

We grant appellee’s petition for rehearing. In United States v. Miller, 492 F.2d 37 (5th Cir., 1974), the court held that Almeida-Sanchez v. United States, 1973, 413 U.S. 266, 93 S.Ct. 2535, 37 L.Ed.2d 596, should be given only prospective application. We therefore abandon any reliance upon Almeida-Sanchez. We do, however, sustain our prior reversal 1 upon the authority of United States v. Storm, 480 F.2d 701 (5th Cir., 1973), and Marsh v. United States, 344 F.2d 317 (5th Cir., 1965), as discussed therein. See also United States v. Bursey, 491 F.2d 531 (5th Cir., 1974).
