Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
COLEMAN, Circuit Judge.
Castell appeals his conviction of the following offenses: (1) possession of 470 boxes of frozen meat which were in an interstate shipment (18 U.S.C. § 659); (2) interstate transportation of a stolen Kenworth tractor (18 U.S.C. § 2312); (3) interstate transportation of a stolen Freuhauf trailer (18 U.S.C. § 2314). He claims he did not get a fair trial because the trial court excluded certain evidence and gave the jury a prejudicial instruction. We find these contentions to be without merit and affirm the conviction.
