Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California; Manuel L. Real, Judge.

Gerald M. Singer (argued), Beverly Hills, Cal., for appellant.

Paul Flynn, Asst. U. S. Atty. (argued), Robert L. Meyer, U. S. Atty., David R. Nissen, Chief, Crim. Div., Los Angeles, Cal., for appellee.

Before CHAMBERS and HUFSTEDLER, Circuit Judges, and THOMPSON,*  District Judge.

PER CURIAM:


In this Dyer Act case, we find sufficient evidence of joint venture in the possessing and transporting of the automobile to uphold Snyder's conviction.

Judge Hufstedler dissents upon the ground that the evidence is patently inadequate to support the implied finding of joint venture.
