UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE, v. WILLIAM TAYLOR STIREWALT, III, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

PER CURIAM:

A jury convicted Stirewalt of transporting a stolen aircraft in interstate commerce, concealing it, and having a false registration number painted on it. On appeal his sole contention is that the evidence adduced at trial was insufficient to support his conviction.

18 U.S.C.A. § 2312.

18 U.S.C.A. § 2313.

49 U.S.C.A. § 1472(b).

We find his contention to be without merit. The Government's evidence showed that the aircraft was stolen from an airport in Orange County, California; that Stirewalt landed it in Tarrant County, Texas, representing himself to be Dr. Nystrom, the airplane's true owner; and that Stirewalt employed one Poplawski to paint a false registration number on the aircraft. Thus there was ample evidence to support Stirewalt's conviction on all counts. See Barnes v. United States, 1973, 412 U.S. 837, 93 S. Ct. 2357, 37 L.Ed.2d 380; Glasser v. United States, 1942, 315 U.S. 60, 62 S. Ct. 457, 86 L.Ed. 680.

Affirmed.
