837 F.2d 1281 (1988)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Richard A. TONRY, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

February 10, 1988.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard A. Tonry, Chalmette, La., pro se.

Joe Giarrusso, Jr., John P. Volz, U.S. Atty., Peter G. Strasser, Daniel S. Linhardt and Curtis Collier, Asst. U.S. Attys., New Orleans, La., for the U.S.

Before GARZA, REAVLEY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

REAVLEY, Circuit Judge:

Richard Tonry appeals his convictions for conspiracy to violate, and two substantive violations of, the Travel Act. 18 U.S.C. §§ 371 & 1952. The state law basis incorporated to support the Travel Act convictions was La.Rev.Stat.Ann. § 14:73 (West 1986), the Louisiana Commercial Bribery Statute. Finding that the Louisiana statute does not reach bribery of non-Louisiana public officials, we vacate and acquit.
