UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, APPELLEE v. EDWARD LOFTY, APPELLANT.

PER CURIAM:

This is an appeal from a conviction for receiving a stolen motor vehicle and stolen goods. The stolen goods consisted of a truck trailer that apparently was coupled with the truck tractor when both were stolen. The appellant contends that the trailer was not goods but merely a part of the motor vehicle.

This contention is refuted by the definition of a motor vehicle as a "self-propelled vehicle." 18 U.S.C. § 2311. Since the trailer is not self-propelled, it is goods rather than a motor vehicle.

Accordingly, the conviction is affirmed.

Affirmed.
