VIRGINIA:
In the Supreme Court of Virginia held at the Supreme Court Building in the City of Richmond on Friday the 5th day of November, 1993.
James Matthew Miller, Appellant, against Commonwealth of Virginia, Appellee.
Record No. 930044
Court of Appeals No. 2070-90-2

Opinion:
Upon consideration of the record, briefs, and argument of counsel on an appeal limited to the questions whether the trial court erred (1) in admitting evidence of Miller's participation during the spring preceding the commission of the crimes in July in a conversation concerning the means and methods of committing murder without being caught, and (2) in admitting evidence that the firearm Miller used to kill the victim had been stolen eight or nine months before the commission of the crimes, the Court finds no merit in the assignments of error and, for the reasons stated in Miller v. Commonwealth, 15 Va. App. 301, 422 S.E.2d. 795 (1992), affirms the judgment of the Court of Appeals. The appellant shall pay to the appellee thirty dollars damages.
