Robert M. Miller, Appellant, v. United States of America, Appellee, 390 F.2d 661 (9th Cir. 1968)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 390 F.2d 661 (9th Cir. 1968) February 15, 1968

Ronald F. Sypnicki (argued), Sacramento, Cal., for appellant.

James Simonelli (argued), Special Asst. to U. S. Atty., Cecil Poole, U. S. Atty., Sacramento, Cal., for appellee.

Before BARNES and BROWNING, Circuit Judges, and JAMESON, District Judge.

PER CURIAM.


Appellant was convicted of embezzlement as a Trustee in Bankruptcy from a bankrupt estate (18 U.S.C. § 153). He raises but one ground on appeal: the sufficiency of the evidence. The evidence, though largely circumstantial, not only substantially supports and is sufficient for conviction, but, in our opinion, overwhelmingly establishes defendant's guilt.

We affirm.
