1Opinion of the Court
ANDERSON, Circuit Judge.
The defendant, Earl Paul Snyder, an inmate at the United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth, Kansas, was convicted of conveying a weapon (a homemade knife) within the prison, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1792 (1982). On appeal, he seeks a reversal of that conviction on two grounds: ineffective assistance of counsel; and, refusal by the trial judge to admit into evidence written statements taken from inmate bystanders, under the business records exception to the hearsay rule, Fed.R.Evid. 803(6). We hold that no error was committed, and affirm.
