United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

February 9, 1972.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas N. Fat (argued), William M. Bitting, of Hill, Farrer & Burrill, Los Angeles, Cal., for plaintiff-appellant.

Gordon Gilman, Dept. of Justice (argued), William D. Keller, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tax Division, Dept. of Justice, Washington, D. C., for defendant-appellee.

Before CHAMBERS, CARTER and CHOY, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM:

In this case where a tax refund was sought, issues of fact were resolved against Sinclair.

At issue were whether Sinclair as treasurer of the National 8-Ball Association was a person responsible (duty bound) to pay withholding taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and whether his failure to make the company's required payment was wilful.

The trial court's findings were not clearly erroneous.
