United States v. John H. Ogden, Jr.

BOWNES, Circuit Judge.

Defendant-appellant John H. Ogden, Jr. was convicted by a jury of the transportation of stolen components of a 1975 Ken-worth motor freight tractor in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2314 and receipt of the same stolen tractor components in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2315.

Three issues are raised on appeal:

1. whether defendant’s pretrial motion to suppress evidence was properly denied;

2. whether the indictment should have been dismissed for prosecutorial abuse; and

3. whether defendant was properly charged under 18 U.S.C. §§ 2314 and 2315.
