Advertisement
Appellant was convicted under a six-count indictment charging violation of the narcotics laws. He appeals.
Appellant urges, first, that the evidence was not sufficient to sustain the jury's verdict of guilty on the charges which arose from two sales. We think the evidence is adequate to sustain the jury's verdict.
He next urges that the jury was not properly instructed. It is to be noted that no exception was taken to the judge's charge, and we see no reason to exercise our discretion under Rule 52(b), Fed.R.Crim.P. 18 U.S.C.A.
Finally, appellant urges ineffective assistance of counsel. This point is totally without merit.
Affirmed.
