Decided August 13, 1982.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas E. Dittmeier, U. S. Atty., Henry J. Fredericks, Asst. U. S. Atty., St. Louis, Mo., for appellee.

David A. Horwitz, Robert H. Kubie, Clayton, Mo., for appellant.

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.
