Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard H. Hubbard, by appointment of the Court, with whom Hubbard & Quinn, P.A., was on brief, for defendant, appellant.

Peter E. Papps, Asst. U.S. Atty., with whom Jeffrey R. Howard, U.S. Atty., and Nancy E. Hart, Asst. U.S. Atty., were on brief, for appellee.

Before TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge, COFFIN, Senior Circuit Judge, and BOUDIN, Circuit Judge.

TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.

Appellant was convicted by a jury of possessing and making a short-barreled shotgun in violation of 26 U.S.C. §§ 5822 and 5861(c).
