PER CURIAM.
The appeal is from convictions of housebreaking, 22 D.C. Code § 1801 (1951), and larceny, 22 D.C. Code §§ 2201, 2202 (Supp. VIII, 1960). Earlier convictions were reversed by this court. Williams v. United States, 105 U.S.App. D.C. 41, 263 F.2d 487.
The principal question now is whether trial counsel's failure to seek to impeach the complaining witness by the use of a police investigation report, containing statements attributed to the witness, constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. We think appellant received effective assistance of counsel, and that the evidence regarding identification of appellant made a case for the jury. Finding no error in these or in any other respects the judgment is
Affirmed.
