MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judge:
Ellison Stockton appeals from his conviction of embezzlement of the assets of a labor union in violation of 29 U.S.C. § 501(c). 1 Stockton makes four arguments: (1) that the district court’s instructions to the jury incorrectly stated the elements of the statutory violation; (2) that there was insufficient evidence to support the jury’s verdict; (3) that certain testimony claimed to be prejudicial should not have been admitted; and (4) that a new trial should have been granted on the basis of newly discovered evidence.
