    No. 31051
    Summary Calendar.
    
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    May 10, 1971.
    Barry Hess, Matranga, Hess & Sullivan, Roderick P. Stout, Mobile, Ala., for defendant-appellant.
    C. S. White-Spunner, Jr., U. S. Atty., Irwin W. Coleman, Jr., Edward J. Vulevich, Jr., Asst. U. S. Attys., Mobile, Ala., for plaintiff-appellee.
    Before THORNBERRY, MORGAN and CLARK, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       Rule 18, 5th Cir.; See Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Co. of New York et al., 5th Cir., 1970, 431 F.2d 409, Part I.
    
   PER CURIAM:

On this appeal, the appellant asserts error by the District Court because: (1) a certain portion of a transcript of testimony by a witness at a preliminary hearing in which the appellant was not a party was excluded by the District Court; (2) the United States Attorney’s office failed to locate a missing witness for the defense counsel; and (3) the District Court refused to continue the case because of the absence of this witness.

A perusal of the record in the case at hand shows no merit in any of appellant’s contentions, and the District Court is hereby

Affirmed.
