What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. Your task is to determine whether there was an issue discussed in the opinion of the court about the interpretation of federal rule of procedures, judicial doctrine, or case law, and if so, whether the resolution of the issue by the court favored the appellant.

PER CURIAM:
Nace was convicted by a jury of transporting a stolen car across state lines, 18 U.S.C. § 2312. It was undisputed that Nace originally came into lawful possession of the vehicle. However, the owner testified that she loaned the car to Nace for the limited purpose of having some repair work done and with instructions to pick her up at work the same day. Nace was arrested with the car one month later and three thousand miles away after the owner had reported it stolen.
We have read the briefs filed by Nace’s appointed counsel, Nace’s amended brief and the trial transcript. The latter gives the lie to Nace’s claim that the government failed to prove the elements of the offense. It also rebuts his claim of inadequate representation by counsel. Other alleged errors were not raised at trial. None of them, if true, even approach the stature of “plain error,” Fed.R.Crim.P. 52(b).
The judgment is affirmed.

Question: Did the interpretation of federal rule of procedures, judicial doctrine, or case law by the court favor the appellant?
