James G. Welsh, Asst. U. S. Atty., for appellee.
Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, and SOBELOFF and BOREMAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
The sole question presented by this appeal is the constitutionality of 18 U. S.C. App. § 1202(a) (1), which makes it a crime for a convicted felon to possess any firearm. Since we recently upheld the constitutionality of this statute in United States v. Cabbler, 429 F.2d 577 (4th Cir. 1970), the conviction is
Affirmed.
