United States of America, and v. Oralia Delacerda, And
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided February 13, 1973 · Chambers, Koelsch, Kilkenny
474 F.2d 857; 1973 U.S. App. LEXIS 11664 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States of America, and v. Oralia Delacerda, And

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction in this case for attempting to board an aircraft of Pacific Southwest Airlines with a concealed weapon is affirmed.

Defendant contends the Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) was not engaged in “air transportation.” See 49 U.S.C. § 1301(10).

Inasmuch as PSA, although not certificated by the Civil Aeronautics Board, was properly engaged in the transportation of United States mails on some routes, we hold that 49 U.S.C. § 1472(1) was violated by Delacerda.
