444 F.2d 1094 | 5th Cir. | 1971
Lead Opinion
The appellant, Billy Ray McCrary, was found guilty by a jury of possession of an unregistered still in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 5179 and with the possession of property intended for use in violating the Internal Revenue laws contrary to the provisions of 26 U.S.C. § 5686. In accordance with the verdict he was adjudged to be guilty and sentenced. On this appeal he contends (1) that the evidence was not sufficient to support the judgment of conviction, (2) that evidence was obtained by means of an unreasonable search and seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and (3) that the registration requirements of 26 U.S. C. § 5179 violate his Fifth Amendment rights. We have reviewed the record in light of the appellant’s contentions and find no merit in any of them. Accordingly the judgment is affirmed.
