United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Joel Strate, Defendant-appellant, 29 F.3d 637 (9th Cir. 1994)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 29 F.3d 637 (9th Cir. 1994) Submitted June 10, 1994. *Decided June 22, 1994

Before: FARRIS, O'SCANNLAIN and TROTT, Circuit Judges

MEMORANDUM** 

Joel Strate appeals his sentence for possession of an unregistered Sten 9 millimeter machine gun in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742 and 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

For the reasons set forth in United States v. Walker, No. 93-50621 (9th Cir. 1994), we reject Strate's argument that his sentence violates the ex post facto clause. The district court correctly sentenced him under the November 1, 1992 Sentencing Guidelines.

AFFIRMED.
