UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Frank SANDERS, III, Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Decided October 13, 1977.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John K. Green, Kennedy, Holland, DeLacy & Svoboda, Omaha, Neb., for appellant.

Daniel E. Wherry, U.S. Atty., Omaha, Neb., for appellee.

Before STEPHENSON and WEBSTER, Circuit Judges, and BENSON, Chief Judge.

We affirm the convictions.
