United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided March 28, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bennett Kaplan (argued) and Barry Rand Elden, Chief of Appeals, Office of the United States Attorney, Criminal Appellate Division, Chicago, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Daniel G. Martin (argued), Office of the Federal Defender Program, Chicago, IL, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before POSNER, Chief Judge, CUMMINGS and BAUER, Circuit Judges.

We affirm.
