United States of America, Appellee, v. Chau Van Ngyuen, Appellant, 79 F.3d 169 (D.C. Cir. 1996)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit - 79 F.3d 169 (D.C. Cir. 1996) Feb. 9, 1996

Before: HENDERSON, RANDOLPH and TATEL, Circuit Judges.


JUDGMENT

This case was heard on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on the briefs and arguments by counsel. The court has accorded the arguments full consideration and has determined the issues presented occasion no need for a published opinion. See D.C. Cir. Rule 36(b). It is therefore

ORDERED that the judgment of conviction be affirmed. The admission in evidence of the credit card application introduced by the government was harmless error if error at all. The evidence, even apart from the credit card application, supported the jury's finding that the defendant at least aided and abetted the operation of a bawdy house in violation of D.C.Code § 22-2722.

The clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C. Cir. Rule 41(a) (1).
