UNITED STATES v. SUGGS

Cr. No. 573-66.

269 F.Supp. 732 (1967)

UNITED STATES of America v. James Lee SUGGS and Clarence Blair.

United States District Court District of Columbia.

May 4, 1967.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Victor W. Caputy, Asst. U. S. Atty., Washington, D. C., for United States of America.

Dovey J. Roundtree, Washington, D. C., for defendant James Lee Suggs.

Floyd W. Anderson, Washington, D. C., for defendant Clarence Blair.

SIRICA, District Judge.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

The Court of Appeals decision in Irby v. United States, No. 19,988 (March 15, 1967), is the closest authority to the contrary, and therefore, it will be distinguished from the instant case.
