1Opinion of the Court
LEVENTHAL, Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal following appellant’s conviction for possession of a short-barreled shotgun that was unregistered and without serial number, in violation of 26 U.S.C. §§ 5861, 5871, and possession of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a). The central issue is whether there was reversible error because the trial court refused a special instruction concerning the particular interest of the principal prosecution witness as accomplice or informant. We affirm.
