1Opinion of the Court
KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Paul C. Perkins was convicted of conspiracy to obstruct justice in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 1 and obstruction of jus tice in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1503. 2 Perkins appeals, claiming that the indictment was invalid, that the evidence was insufficient to support the jury’s verdict, and that the trial court erred in denying him a new trial on the basis of jury misconduct. We find that, because of juror misconduct, appellant is entitled to a new trial; therefore, we reverse and remand.
