What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to identify the issue in the case, that is, the social and/or political context of the litigation in which more purely legal issues are argued. Put somewhat differently, this field identifies the nature of the conflict between the litigants. The focus here is on the subject matter of the controversy rather than its legal basis. Consider the following categories: "criminal" (including appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence), "civil rights" (excluding First Amendment or due process; also excluding claims of denial of rights in criminal proceeding or claims by prisoners that challenge their conviction or their sentence (e.g., habeas corpus petitions are coded under the criminal category); does include civil suits instituted by both prisoners and callable non-prisoners alleging denial of rights by criminal justice officials), "First Amendment", "due process" (claims in civil cases by persons other than prisoners, does not include due process challenges to government economic regulation), "privacy", "labor relations", "economic activity and regulation", and "miscellaneous".

PER CURIAM:
Appellant, convicted below of transferring marihuana without having paid the tax thereon [26 U.S.C.A. § 4744(a) (1)] and transferring marihuana without a written order of the Secretary of the Treasury [26 U.S.C.A. § 4742(a)], complains that (1) the trial court erred in failing to strike “reputation” testimony presented by the Government, or alternatively, to grant defendant’s motion for mistrial, (2) the trial court erred in denying defendant’s motion for acquittal made after Government rested its case and (3) that 26 U.S.C. § 4744 is unconstitutional.
Entrapment, which presupposes an admission that defendant committed the act charged as a crime, was asserted as a defense in defendant’s motion for acquittal. Defendant testified in his own behalf after the court overruled such motion.
In order to show a predisposition on the part of defendant to commit the offense the Government called Brownard County Deputy Sheriff Charles Peart in rebuttal, who testified that he knew defendant’s reputation in the community regarding narcotic and drug activities and that such reputation was that he was a narcotic peddler. When it appeared that such knowledge of reputation was gleaned by the witness from the police department of Fort Lauderdale and information obtained from informants defendant moved for a mistrial, asserting his Sixth Amendment right to be confronted by the witnesses against him and also that such testimony was hearsay on hearsay. These contentions are without merit. Washington v. United States, 275 F.2d 687 (5 Cir., 1960).
Defendant’s contention that the evidence was insufficient to justify conviction is also without merit. In this Circuit, when a defendant in a criminal case, after denial of a motion for acquittal after the close of the Government’s ease, introduces evidence in his own behalf, his motion is abandoned and the case is before this Court for review upon all the evidence and the entire record. T’Kach v. United States, 242 F.2d 937 (5 Cir.1957). On this record the evidence is sufficient.
Defendant’s final contention that 26 U.S.C.A. § 4744 requires a defendant to incriminate himself and is therefore unconstitutional is also without merit, this contention having been recently rejected by this court in Leary v. United States, 392 F.2d 220 (5 Cir.1968) (cert, granted).
Affirmed.
