No. 13722.

Jack V. Altizer, Charleston, W. Va., court-appointed counsel, for appellant.
Brian P. Gettings, U.S. Atty., and Rodney Sager, Asst. U.S. Atty., for appellee.
Before WINTER, CRAVEN and BUTZNER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Garnett Gilliam Webster was convicted of possessing a stolen check and forging an endorsement in violation of 18 U.S.C. 495 and 1708. His principal ground for reversal is that a postal inspector obtained handwriting exemplars from him in violation of the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. His contention, however, is fully answered by Gilbert v. California, 388 U.S. 263" date_filed="1967-06-12" court="SCOTUS" case_name="Gilbert v. California">388 U.S. 263, 265, 87 S. Ct. 1951, 18 L. Ed. 2d 1178 (1967), and United States v. Albright, 388 F.2d 719" date_filed="1968-01-04" court="4th Cir." case_name="United States v. Jerry Neale Albright">388 F.2d 719, 727 (4th Cir. 1968). Webster's other assignments of error are also without merit.
The judgment is affirmed.
