United States v. Raymond Leon Currier, United States of America v. Raymond Leon Currier

MALETZ, Senior Judge.

Raymond Leon Currier appeals from a judgment of conviction, after a jury trial in the District of Maine, finding him guilty of being a felon in unlawful possession of a firearm shipped in interstate commerce. 18 U.S.C. App. § 1202(a)(1) (1982). He seeks reversal of his conviction, contending that the district court improperly admitted evidence and compounded that error by failing to give a requested limiting instruction. The government cross-appeals, challenging the district court’s determination, 644 F.Supp. 228 (1986), that Currier was not a “dangerous special offender”…
