89 F.2d 783 | 9th Cir. | 1937
The indictment in this case contains two counts. The first count charges that Edward Harold Ryman, Karl L. Woolsey, John Murray Cheney, Franklin Dolph LeSieur, Thomas Burke Ryan, John F. Muyres, and George J. Muyres transported and caused to be transported in interstate commerce from the state of Arizona to Huntington Park, Cal., certain securities, to wit, bonds, of the value of more than $5,000 theretofore stolen from Nellie P. Covert, knowing the same to have been stolen, thereby violating section 3 of the Act of May 22, 1934, c. 333, 48 Stat. 794 (18 U.S.C.A. § 415).
Ryman and Woolsey pleaded guilty. The case was dismissed as to Cheney. LeSieur was never brought to trial. Ryan and the two Muyres defendants were tried. Ryan and John F. Muyres were convicted on both counts. George J. Muyres was convicted on the second count only. John F. Muyres prosecutes this appeal.
There are four assignments of error. Assignment 1 is to the admission of evidence. It does not quote the full substance of the evidence admitted, as required by our rule 11, and is therefore disregarded. Wheeler v. United States (C.C.A. 9) 77 F.(2d) 216, 218; Levine v. United States (C.C.A. 9) 79 F.(2d) 364, 367.
Assignment 2 is that the trial court erred in denying appellant’s motion for a directed verdict. Such a motion was made and denied, but the ruling was not excepted to and, therefore, will not be reviewed.
Assignment 3 is that the trial court erred “in failing and refusing to give to the jury instruction No. 4 requested by [appellant].” This alleged error is not specified in appellant’s brief, as required by our rule 24, and is therefore disregarded. Love v. United States (C.C.A. 9) 74 F.(2d) 988; Lonergan v. United States (C.C.A. 9) 88 F. (2d) 591, decided March 4, 1937.
Assignment 4 is that the trial court erred “in failing and refusing to give to the jury instruction No. 13 as requested by [appellant].” The record shows no such request. This assignment, therefore, cannot be considered. Levine v. United States, supra (C.C.A.) 79 F.(2d) 364, at page 370; Lonergan v. United States, supra.
Judgment affirmed.
Section 3 provides: “Whoever shall transport or cause to be transported in interstate . . . commerce any goods, wares, or merchandise, securities, or money, of the value of $5,000 or more theretofore stolen, . . . knowing the same to have been so stolen, . . . shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than ten years, or both.”
