Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California; Albert L. Stephens, Jr., Judge.

Before CHAMBERS, CARTER and WRIGHT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Irrespective of Leary v. United States, 395 U.S. 6, 89 S. Ct. 1532, 23 L. Ed. 2d 57 (1969) the Court finds the evidence just too thin to sustain a conviction.
