District of Columbia Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court

HARRIS, Associate Judge:

Appellant was found guilty by a jury of carrying a pistol without a license. D.C. Code 1973, § 22-3204. He was sentenced to a term of 40 to 120 months’ imprisonment under the repeat offender provisions of that statute. Appellant challenges: (1) the supposed denial of a motion to suppress the pistol as evidence; (2) the fact that the jury made no finding as to the prior felony convictions of appellant which formed the basis for a greater sentence; and (3) the fact that a police officer testified that the pistol was stolen. We find no error requiring reversal, and affirm.
