No. 93-CF-813.

663 A.2d 1221 (1995)

Ronnie L. HAWKINS, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided August 17, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph Virgilio, appointed by the court, Glendale, CA, for appellant.

Mark J. Carroll, Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Eric H. Holder, Jr., United States Attorney, and John R. Fisher, Thomas J. Tourish, Jr., and John F. Cox, Assistant United States Attorneys, Washington, DC, were on the brief, for appellee.

Before FARRELL and KING, Associate Judges, and MACK, Senior Judge.
