United States v. Peterson

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit
May 23, 1972
459 F.2d 1389 (9th Cir. 1972)

Opinion

No. 72-1091.

May 23, 1972.

Charles Robinowitz, Portland, Or., for defendant-appellant.

Sidney I. Lezak, U.S. Atty., Jack C. Wong, Asst. U.S. Atty., Portland, Or., for plaintiff-appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Oregon.

Before CHAMBERS, ELY, and HUFSTEDLER, Circuit Judges.


The appellant, convicted of bank robbery and sentenced under the Youth Corrections Act, appeals. Neither of his two contentions are meritorious.

The District Court did not abuse its discretion in denying a requested continuance and, since the prosecution produced testimony that Peterson participated in a conversation in which the robbery was planned, the evidence was sufficient to support the judgment of conviction.

Affirmed.
