United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided January 6, 1982.

Certiorari Denied March 29, 1982.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Steven A. Sussman, Watertown, Mass., by appointment of the Court, for appellant.

Robert B. Collings, First Asst. U. S. Atty., Chief, Crim. Div., Boston, Mass., with whom Edward F. Harrington, U. S. Atty., Boston, Mass., was on brief, for appellee.

Before CAMPBELL, BOWNES and BREYER, Circuit Judges.


Certiorari Denied March 29, 1982. See 102 S.Ct. 1759.

CAMPBELL, Circuit Judge.

John Gonsalves appeals from his conviction of armed bank robbery under 18 U.S.C. § 2113(d). He contends that the district court erred in allowing into evidence a statement Gonsalves made to an FBI agent allegedly threatening a witness who had identified Gonsalves as the robber. Finding no abuse of discretion, we affirm both the district court's ruling and the conviction.
