Opinion

No. 14369.

Argued June 9, 1971.

Decided June 30, 1971.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore; Frank A. Kaufman, Judge.

See also, 4 Cir., 427 F.2d 1365.

Geza Molnar [Court-appointed counsel], Silver Spring, Md., for appellant.

Jean G. Rogers, Asst. U.S. Atty., (George Beall, U.S. Atty., on brief) for appellee.

Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, and BOREMAN and RUSSELL, Circuit Judges.


After full consideration of the briefs and the argument of counsel, we find no error in the proceedings resulting in the appellant's conviction for bank robbery ( 18 U.S.C.A. § 2113).

Since concurrent sentences were imposed on the three counts of the indictment, we remand the case for imposition of a single sentence. United States v. Retolaza, 4 Cir., 398 F.2d 235; United States v. Spears, 4 Cir., 442 F.2d 424.

Affirmed and remanded.
