Task: songer_typeiss

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the general category of issues discussed in the opinion of the court. Choose among the following categories. Criminal and prisioner petitions- includes 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 or the validity of continued confinement. Civil - Government - these will include appeals from administrative agencies (e.g., OSHA,FDA), the decisions of administrative law judges, or the decisions of independent regulatory agencies (e.g., NLRB, FCC,SEC). The focus in administrative law is usually on procedural principles that apply to administrative agencies as they affect private interests, primarily through rulemaking and adjudication. Tort actions against the government, including petitions by prisoners which challenge the conditions of their confinement or which seek damages for torts committed by prion officials or by police fit in this category. In addition, this category will include suits over taxes and claims for benefits from government. Diversity of Citizenship - civil cases involving disputes between citizens of different states (remember that businesses have state citizenship). These cases will always involve the application of state or local law. If the case is centrally concerned with the application or interpretation of federal law then it is not a diversity case. Civil Disputes - Private - includes all civil cases that do not fit in any of the above categories. The opposing litigants will be individuals, businesses or groups.

PER CURIAM.
Defendant was convicted under an information charging possession and sale of intoxicating liquor in violation of the National Prohibition Act (27 USCA). He was given a sentence of three months’ imprisonment, but was not fined; and this, of course, means that he was punished under the count charging sale, but not under the one charging possession.
The only point presented by .the assignments of error is the admissibility- of evidence obtained by a search alleged to have been unlawful; but, as this evidence bore only upon the charge of possession in the count under which defendant was not punished, and had no relation to the charge of sale contained in the count under which he was punished, we do not see how he was- hurt by its admission.
Defendant sold whisky to a prohibition agent in the presence of two other agents. After the sale they arrested him, and searched the bar where he was working, and there found a quantity of intoxicating liquor. The possession of this liquor was covered by the count of the information under which defendant was not punished; the sale to the prohibition agent, which was established by testimony as to occurrences prior to the search, being covered by the other count. The arrest was made' by the prohibition officers for a crime committed in their presence, and the search was incidental to the arrest. It would seem, therefore, that both the arrest and the search were lawful. Marron v. U. S., 48 S. Ct. 74, 72 L. Ed.-; Agnello v. U. S., 269 U. S. 30, 46 S. Ct. 4, 70 L. Ed. 145; Henderson v. U. S. (C. C. A. 4th) 12 F.(2d) 528, 530, 51 A. L. R. 420; U. S. v. Kirschenblatt (C. C. A. 2d) 16 F.(2d) 202; Sayers v. U. S. (C. C. A. 9th) 2 F.(2d) 146; Peterson v. U. S. (C. C. A. 9th) 297 F. 1002; McBride v. U. S. (C. C. A. 5th) 284 F. 416.
It is not necessary to go into these matters, however, as, for the reasons stated, we do not think that the admission of the testimony affected the result.
Affirmed.
