OPINION OF THE COURT

PER CURIAM.

1

This is an appeal by Hugh William Murtaugh from a judgment of conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 2312, for transporting a stolen motor vehicle across state lines. Defendant-appellant contends that the district court committed reversible error by permitting the Assistant United States Attorney to cross-examine one witness beyond the scope of the direct examination, and by permitting other witnesses to give testimony which was irrelevant, immaterial, and highly prejudicial.

2

We have carefully considered all of appellant's contentions and we have independently examined the entire record. We can find no reversible error.

3

Accordingly, the district court's judgment of conviction will be affirmed.
