Opinion

ORDER

This ease is before the Court on remand from the Supreme Court, John David Moore v. United States,-U.S.-, 97 S.Ct. 29, 50 L.Ed.2d 25 (1976).

We have carefully reviewed the trial record in accordance with the directions of the Supreme Court and find no competent evidence that John David Moore, Jr. was, in fact, a tenant of the apartment in question, and nothing beyond his mere presence, along with another person, to show that it was he who, in fact, possessed the heroin.

It is, therefore, ORDERED

That the judgment of conviction is reversed and the case is remanded to the District Court for the entry of a verdict of not guilty.
