1Opinion of the Court
MANION, Circuit Judge.
By pretending to be a United States Marshal, Robert J. Rippee talked his way out of a traffic ticket and into an indictment in federal court. A jury convicted Rippee of impersonating a federal officer to obtain a thing of value in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 912 (1976), and the district judge sentenced Rippee to seven months imprisonment pursuant to the Sentencing Guidelines. On appeal, Rippee argues only that the district court erred in denying his motion to dismiss the indictment for failure to state an offense under section 912. We affirm the defendant’s conviction.
