United States v. Daniel Ernest Hayes
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided December 3, 1971 · Ely, Hufstedler, Per Curiam, Wright
451 F.2d 1228 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Daniel Ernest Hayes

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellant attacks his conviction for a violation of the Dyer Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2312, on the ground that the evidence was inadequate to prove his knowledge that the vehicle he was driving had been stolen and to prove the requisite specific intent.

There was ample evidence to sustain the conviction. The district court did not believe Hayes’ explanation about his possession of the automobile or his testimony denying knowledge of the theft. It had no obligation to credit his testimony.

The judgment is affirmed.
