UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Junious JONES, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 72-1393.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    July 26, 1972.
    Nils R. Douglas (Court-appointed), Collins & Douglas, New Orleans, La., for defendant-appellant.
    Gerald J. Gallinghouse, U. S. Atty., Stephen L. Dunne, Mary Cazalas, Asst. U. S. Attys., New Orleans, La., for plaintiff-appellee.
    Before TUTTLE, COLEMAN and CLARK, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The principal ground of appeal from this conviction of appellant for knowingly possessing articles stolen from the United States mail, 18 U.S.C.A. § 1708, is that incriminating statements made by Jones during his detention should have been stricken as having been improperly obtained by the arresting officers. A careful reading of the record convinces us that the Miranda proceedings were fully carried out and incriminating statements were made both before and after the appellant signed a waiver.

We have carefully considered the other grounds of appeal and find them to be without merit.

The judgment is affirmed.
