Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 422 F.2d 1323 (9th Cir. 1970) March 11, 1970

William N. Fielden, La Jolla, Cal., for appellant.

Shelby R. Gott, Asst. U. S. Atty., Harry D. Steward, U. S. Atty., San Diego, Cal., for appellee.

Before BARNES and CARTER, Circuit Judges, and BYRNE.*  District Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant, found guilty of smuggling seventeen pounds of marijuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 176a, raises but one ground of alleged error on this appeal — namely: that the Assistant United States Attorney used prejudicial and inflammatory arguments to the jury. No objection was made to any of the twelve matters now charged to constitute error. Under the court's cautionary instructions to the jury, we hold there was no error. The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
