United States v. Paul S. Cooper

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided August 12, 1974 · Ely, Wallace, Powell

501 F.2d 1089; 1974 U.S. App. LEXIS 7245 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion

OPINION

PER CURIAM:

We are here concerned with appellant’s conviction of the charge in Count *1090 I only of a ten count indictment. 1 In Count I he was charged with making false statements to United States agencies in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. These statements pertained to an investigation of possible violations of various rent regulations promulgated under the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, 84 Stat. 799, (Aug. 15, 1970), as amended through January 27,1972.

Cooper’s argument that he was somehow entrapped and that his conviction is inconsistent with the trial court’s disposition of the other counts against him we find to be without merit. The evidence in support of his conviction of Count I was more than sufficient.

Affirmed.

. The case was first before the Temporary Emergency Court of Appeals. Por a factual recital and disposition of other counts see: United States v. Cooper, 482 F.2d 1393 (TECA 1973).
