United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. George Harley Perkins, Defendant-appellant, 459 F.2d 1392 (5th Cir. 1972)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 459 F.2d 1392 (5th Cir. 1972) June 6, 1972

Before THORNBERRY, COLEMAN and INGRAHAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

The appellant, George Harley Perkins, was convicted by a jury of violating the statutes prohibiting the armed robbery of a bank, 18 U.S.C., Sec. 2113(a) (d) and 18 U.S.C., Sec. 924 (c) (2). He was sentenced to imprisonment for terms of fifteen years and three years, consecutively.

On appeal, Perkins complains of the identification furnished by the one bank employee present at the night-time robbery, of the order of proof, and of the admission in evidence of a letter signed by Perkins, written while he was in jail.

We detect no error which would warrant reversal and the conviction is affirmed under our Local Rule 21.1 

Affirmed.
