Task: songer_origin

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. Your task is to identify the type of court which made the original decision. Code cases removed from a state court as originating in federal district court. For "State court", include habeas corpus petitions after conviction in state court and petitions from courts of territories other than the U.S. District Courts. For "Special DC court", include courts other than the US District Court for DC. For "Other", include courts such as the Tax Court and a court martial.

PER CURIAM.
Appellant, Richard D. Herndon, was convicted by a jury of selling lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 331 (q) (2). It is from the judgment of conviction that this appeal is now taken.
The gist of appellant’s argument here is that since the federal government has seen fit to grant a special exemption to the Native American Church, a religious organization of Indians, to use the hallucinogen peyote in connection with their religious services, it is a denial of equal protection of the laws and a form of religious discrimination to prohibit appellant, an alleged minister of the Neo American Church, from selling the hallucinogen LSD to a man who was introduced to him as a gangster interested in buying and distributing LSD.
We have carefully examined the record in this case, and it is quite obvious that appellant was involved solely in an illegal commercial transaction, not a protected religious practice. There is absolutely no evidence of any infringement of Herndon’s constitutional rights.
Accordingly the judgment of the district court will be affirmed.
