PER CURIAM.
Raymond Sostarich was convicted on three counts of robbing three federally insured savings and loan associations, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a). Sostarich received a 15 year sentence on each count, the sentences to be served consecutively. On appeal he principally contends the trial court erred in refusing to grant a mistrial when the government solicited testimony from a witness that Sostarich had previously spent time in a penitentiary.
