PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:
On May 17, 1983, while serving time for a prior conviction, prison officials conducted a routine inspection of defendant Chris Prestenbach's personal property. They discovered that a lotion bottle in his possession contained a plastic bag with six Postal Service money orders inside. Four of the money orders had been altered.
Prestenbach was indicted and convicted of four counts of violating 18 U.S.C. § 494.
