United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Lanny Gold Arbucci, Defendant-appellant, 416 F.2d 1332 (5th Cir. 1969)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 416 F.2d 1332 (5th Cir. 1969) October 10, 1969

Richard D. Naylor, Pecos, Tex., for defendant-appellant.

Seagal V. Wheatley, United States Atty., San Antonio, Tex., Romualdo Cesar Caballero, Asst. U. S. Atty., El Paso, Tex., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before GEWIN, DYER and CARSWELL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Arbucci appeals from a judgment entered upon a jury conviction of aiding and abetting the transportation in interstate commerce of a stolen automobile in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 2312. We affirm.1 

Although Arbucci insists that the District Judge improperly charged the jury on the issue of "aiding and abetting" and erroneously refused instructions submitted by him, we have considered the charge as a whole and have concluded that no prejudicial error is contained therein. Gurleski v. United States, 5 Cir. 1968, 405 F.2d 253; United States v. Birnbaum, 2 Cir. 1967, 373 F.2d 250, cert. denied, 389 U.S. 837, 88 S. Ct. 53, 19 L. Ed. 2d 99. The judgment is therefore affirmed.
