Description

WILLIAM E. DOYLE, Circuit Judge. This appeal is from a jury verdict finding defendant-appellant Robert Quintana guilty of using extortionate means to collect an extention of credit, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 894. A judgment of acquittal was entered in behalf of codefendant Edward Quintana for insufficiency of the evidence against him.1 The challenge on this appeal is to the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the jury's verdict against Robert Quintana; secondly, the court's ruling admitting tape recordings of telephone conversations between appellant and Wright, the alleged victim of the extortion; thirdly, the court's refusal to grant to the defendant-appellant discovery of Grand Jury minutes and testimony of witnesses who appeared before the Grand Jury. We have reviewed the contentions and we conclude that they are lacking in merit, whereby we affirm the conviction.
