Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 420 F.2d 1382 (9th Cir. 1970) February 17, 1970

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California; Sherill Halbert, Judge.

David S. Kaplan (argued), Sacramento, Cal., for appellant.

Richard Michols (argued), Asst. U. S. Atty., Sacramento, Cal., for appellee.

Before CHAMBERS, JERTBERG and TRASK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Herein on appeal, inter alia, it is contended in this bank robbery case tried without a jury that there was an issue of insanity below (and the government failed to sustain its burden of proof), that there was a lineup violating United States v. Wade, 388 U.S. 218, 87 S. Ct. 1926, 18 L. Ed. 1149, and that there was ineffective assistance of counsel.

After examination of the record, we conclude the judgment should be affirmed. And, it is so ordered. Here, appointed counsel has made an unusually competent presentation of the points he had available.
