PER CURIAM.


Appellant, Ilene Charles, alias Arlene Charles, was charged by information with having violated 26 U.S.C.A. § 2550(a). She waived jury trial, was tried by the court without a jury and was found guilty. From a judgment sentencing her to pay a fine of $2500 and to be imprisoned for a year and a day she has appealed. The only question presented is whether the evidence warranted the finding of guilt. It did. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
