United States v. Stanley Brock, A/K/A Sonny Brock

454 F.2d 735, 1972 U.S. App. LEXIS 11724

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Defendant, a previously convicted felon, was indicted and convicted of willfully and knowingly possessing a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. App. § 1202(a). The conviction must be reversed because the government neither alleged nor proved that the firearm was possessed “in commerce or affecting commerce,” as required by the recent decision of- the United States Supreme Court in United States v. Bass, 404 U.S. 336, 92 S.Ct. 515, 30 L.Ed.2d 488.

Reversed.
