v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, APPELLEE

No. 24831
395 F.2d 749 Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (1968) Positive Treatment
Cited by 14 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:

PER CURIAM:

The appellant has been found guilty, in two counts, of violating 26 U.S.C., § 7206(1), wilfully making and subscribing a federal income tax return which he did not believe to be true and correct as to every material matter. That the return was false in certain particulars is not disputed. Although not charged with nor being tried for income tax evasion, appellant says that he should have been allowed to introduce proof showing that the falsity resulted in no tax deficiency. This proof was not relevant to the issue raised by the indictment and it was not error to reject it, Siravo v. United States, 1 Cir., 1967, 377 F. 2d 469; Silverstein v. United States, 1 Cir., 1967, 377 F. 2d 269; Hoover v. United States, 5 Cir., 1966, 358 F. 2d 87, 89, cert. denied 385 U.S. 822, 87 S.Ct. 50, 17 L.Ed.2d 59.

On the record now before us we perceive no error in the use by the government of H. G. Hooks as a witness for the prosecution.

Affirmed.
