Before GEWIN, AINSWORTH and MORGAN, Circuit Judges.
510 F.2d 598 Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (1975) Positive Treatment
Cited by 51 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:

PER CURIAM:

We have considered the several assignments of error by appellant in this case relating to the insufficiency of the evidence to justify the jury’s verdict of guilty, to the asserted involuntariness of the defendant’s confession, to the conduct of the judge during the trial as having been prejudicial to the defendant, and to the alleged failure of the trial judge to comply with the principle of Dorszynski v. United States, 418 U.S. 424, 94 S.Ct. 3042, 41 L.Ed.2d 855 (1974), relative to the necessity of an explicit finding that defendant would not benefit from sentencing under the Youth Corrections Act.

After a careful review of the record, we find the assignments of error to be without merit. We also hold that since the defendant herein is over the age of 22, a young adult offender, the sentencing judge was not required to make explicit findings that the defendant would not benefit from the Youth Corrections Act (18 U.S.C. § 4209).

Affirmed.
