U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, 1971

United States v. Joe Damian Lovato

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided February 5, 1971 · Chambers, Murrah, Kilkenny

436 F.2d 1375; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 12025 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Counsel

Barry Tarlow (argued), Los Angeles, Cal., for appellant., Shelby R. Gott (argued), Asst. U. S. Atty., Harry D. Steward, U. S. Atty., San Diego, Cal., for appellee.

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

Although there was no evidence to spare, we find there was sufficient evidence to find Lovato guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

One issue about coerced disclosure of any investigative report might be serious *1376 if there were a showing of real prejudice. The record indicates none.

The many claims of error, well presented, we find to be inadequate for a reversal.
