United States v. William Alan Callison

MERRILL, Circuit Judge:

The Supreme Court has remanded this case to us for further consideration in light of Welsh v. United States, 398 U.S. 333, 90 S.Ct. 1792, 26 L.Ed.2d 308 (1970). Our original decision appears at 413 F.2d 133 (9th Cir. 1969). The Supreme Court action is noted sub nom. Morico v. United States, 399 U.S. 526, 90 S.Ct. 2230, 26 L.Ed.2d 776 (1970).

We did not reach appellant’s Welsh argument in our original opinion. 1 Instead, we rested our decision on the ground that there was a basis in fact in the record for a determination that appellant’s beliefs were not sincerely held. 2
