 Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 501 F.2d 1089 (9th Cir. 1974) Aug. 12, 1974

Karl K. Ransom, Robert N. Harris, Jr., Los Angeles, Cal., for defendant-appellant.

Before ELY and WALLACE, Circuit Judges, and POWELL,*  District judge.

OPINION

PER CURIAM:

We are here concerned with appellant's conviction of the charge in Count I only of a ten count indictment.1  In Count I he was charged with making false statements to United States agencies in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001. These statements pertained to an investigation of possible violations of various rent regulations promulgated under the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, 84 Stat. 799, (Aug. 15, 1970), as amended through January 27, 1972.

Cooper's argument that he was somehow entrapped and that his conviction is inconsistent with the trial court's disposition of the other counts against him we find to be without merit. The evidence in support of his conviction of Count I was more than sufficient.

Affirmed.
