UNITED STATES of America Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Henry Mance JOHNSON, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 31051 Summary Calendar.*

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

May 10, 1971.

Barry Hess, Matranga, Hess & Sullivan, Roderick P. Stout, Mobile, Ala., for defendant-appellant.

C.S. White-Spunner, Jr., U.S. Atty., Irwin W. Coleman, Jr., Edward J. Vulevich, Jr., Asst. U.S. Attys., Mobile, Ala., for plaintiff-appellee.

Appeal from United States District Court, Southern District of Alabama; Sherrill Halbert, Senior District Judge.

Before THORNBERRY, MORGAN and CLARK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

On this appeal, the appellant asserts error by the District Court because: (1) a certain portion of a transcript of testimony by a witness at a preliminary hearing in which the appellant was not a party was excluded by the District Court; (2) the United States Attorney's office failed to locate a missing witness for the defense counsel; and (3) the District Court refused to continue the case because of the absence of this witness.

2

A perusal of the record in the case at hand shows no merit in any of appellant's contentions, and the District Court is hereby

3

Affirmed.
