States v. Baker

States v. Baker
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit · Decided December 18, 1975 · Ross, Stephenson, Webster
526 F.2d 804; 1975 U.S. App. LEXIS 11394 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

States v. Baker

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Jim Baker appeals from his conviction for dealing in firearms without a license, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(1) and 924(a). He contends that government agents entrapped him and that the evidence was insufficient for conviction.

Baker was tried before the Honorable H. Kenneth Wangelin, whose findings of fact and conclusions of law are reported in United States v. Baker, 397 F.Supp. 1122 (E.D.Mo. 1975). Finding no error in those proceedings, we affirm on the basis of Judge Wangelin’s memorandum opinion.
