v.
EDWARD LOFTY, APPELLANT

4th Cir. | 1972-02-14
No. 71-1700

Cited by 10 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:

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.
