Decided August 31, 1978.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas P. Durkin, Allan A. Ackerman, Chicago, Ill., for defendant-appellant.

William A. Barnett, Jr., Asst. U.S. Atty., Chicago, Ill., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before FAIRCHILD, Chief Judge, CUMMINGS, Circuit Judge, and CAMPBELL, Senior District Judge.


PER CURIAM.

Appellant James Scott appeals from his conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 922(c) which prohibits the sale of firearms while not on business premises and under 18 U.S.C. § 922(b)(4) which prohibits the sale of firearms in violation of state law. Scott was convicted in a bench trial. The sole issue presented by this appeal is whether the record permits us to say that Scott knowingly and intentionally waived his right to jury trial.
