1Opinion of the Court
HARRY PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.
Donald Phillip Lenz appeals from his jury conviction for armed bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113. The Government granted immunity to Lenz’s alleged accomplices in return for their testimony against Lenz. However, the United States Attorney refused to seek use immunity for a defense witness. Lenz says the Government’s actions denied him compulsory process and a fair trial. We disagree and affirm his conviction.
