United States Third Circuit

In circumstances where a defendant died after he filed a timely appeal from a sentence imposed as a result of his conviction on federal gambling charges, a motion by his personal representative to abate defendant's conviction is denied, and the case is remand to the district court with instructions to abate a fine, which was the only issue the decedent had been appealing in the first place.
