UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jess E. GONZALES, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 71-2530.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    May 8, 1972.
    James H. Quinn (argued), San Diego, Cal., for defendant-appellant.
    Lyn I. Goldberg, Asst. U. S. Atty. (argued), Stephen G. Nelson, Asst. U. S. Atty., Harry D. Steward, U. S. Atty., San Diego, Cal., for plaintiff-appellee.
    Before CHAMBERS and CHOY, Circuit Judges, and CURTIS, District Judge.
    
    
      
       The Honorable Jesse W. Curtis, United States District Judge, Central District of California, sitting by designation.
    
   PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction is reversed.

We find the few circumstances pointing to the guilt of Gonzales too thin to permit a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in this narcotics case.

Thus, we do not reach the other points raised.
