United States v. Robert Lester Terry
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
DYER, Circuit Judge:
Terry appeals from a judgment of conviction entered on a jury verdict of guilty of the interstate transportation of a stolen motor vehicle and its transportation in foreign commerce. 1 The main thrust of his appeal is the refusal of the district court to grant him a continuance so that he would have additional time to obtain an attorney, and the further refusal of the court to appoint counsel for him.
