U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided January 7, 1972 · Chambers, Hamley, Goodwin
451 F.2d 1389 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Robert Graff

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction for possession of and for transferring an automatic rifle is affirmed.

In our view, the implications of United States v. Freed, 401 U.S. 601, 91 S. Ct. 1112, 28 L.Ed.2d 356 (1971) require affirmance.

While the record would seem to indicate that Graff is not vicious but a bumbler, our view is that the jury’s verdict was permissible.

True, it is a felony conviction, but it is apparent that if defendant is a good probationer, because of his youth, his conviction will disappear from the record under applicable law.
