United States v. Phillip Lee Peterson
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided May 23, 1972 · Chambers, Ely, Huf-Stedler, Per Curiam
459 F.2d 1389; 1972 U.S. App. LEXIS 9415 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Phillip Lee Peterson

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The appellant, convicted of bank robbery and sentenced under the Youth Corrections Act, appeals. Neither of his two contentions are meritorious.

The District Court did not abuse its discretion in denying a requested continuance and, since the prosecution produced testimony that Peterson participated in a conversation in which the robbery was planned, the evidence was sufficient to support the judgment of conviction.

Affirmed.
