Task: songer_treat

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the disposition by the court of appeals of the decision of the court or agency below; i.e., how the decision below is "treated" by the appeals court. That is, the basic outcome of the case for the litigants, indicating whether the appellant or respondent "won" in the court of appeals.

PER CURIAM:
In a jury trial, Allen was found guilty of having unlawfully transported a motor vehicle in interstate commerce. 18 U.S.C. § 2312. His challenge to the conviction is based upon his contention that he was deprived of a fair trial because of certain remarks made by the trial judge during the course of the trial and in the presence of the jury. He points to nine pages of the record and characterizes comments which there appear as “ridicule” and “rebukes” directed to counsel.
It is true, of course, that a trial judge must maintain, especially in a jury trial, that restraint which is essential to the dignity of the court and to the assurance of an atmosphere of impartiality. In this case, however, we cannot agree that the district judge overstepped the bounds of propriety. And even if it could be said that the several comments, considered as a whole, constituted error, the error could not have operated so as to prejudice, significantly, the rights of the accused. The evidence of his guilt was overwhelming.
Affirmed.
