United States v. Eckman

Appellants Eckman and Olive were indicted for possession of approximately 730 cases of cigarettes which were known to appellants to have been stolen from interstate commerce, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 659. Both entered pleas of guilty, which were accepted by the district court. Both were placed on probation, which later was revoked, and both were ordered to report for execution of their sentences of imprisonment. Presently, appellants are in prison. Eckman appealed to this court from the revocation of his probation. On May 3, 1977, this court affirmed the revocation in an unpublished order, 559 F.2d 1221 (table), Cert. denied, 434 U.S. 828, 98 S. Ct. 107, 54 L. Ed. 2d 87 (1977). A copy of the unpublished order of this court is made an appendix to this opinion.
