U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided March 29, 1968 · Merrill, Carter, Byrne
392 F.2d 579; 1968 U.S. App. LEXIS 7520 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

James Ellis Shaw, Jr. v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellant stands convicted of interstate transportation of a stolen motor vehicle, 18 U.S.C. § 2312, and appeals from judgment.

He contends that the proof was fatally at variance with the indictment. He was charged with transporting a car bearing identification number 58N123708. He was proved to have been in possession of a car bearing the number F58N123708. We do not regard this variance as material. The District Court 'did not err in failing to direct judgment of acquittal upon this ground.

We find no merit in appellant’s contention that the evidence was insufficient to establish that the car had been stolen.

Affirmed.
