1Opinion of the Court
GOODWIN, Circuit Judge.
The Wilsons, who were charged with filing false withholding statements during 1979 in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7205, moved to dismiss the indictment on grounds of selective prosecution. They argued that the government prosecuted them only because they had exercised their First Amendment right to protest the income tax or because they had exercised their Fifth Amendment right not to answer IRS’ questions. The district court denied the motion and they appeal.
Two issues are presented. The first is whether this court has jurisdiction under Abney v. United States, 431 U.S.…
