United States DC Circuit

Conviction of four criminal counts, including one count of possession of a firearm by a felon is affirmed over claim that the denial of defendant's motion for a mistrial based on the court's inadvertent submission to the jury of an indictment which identified two specific predicate crimes to support the felon-in-possession count, when defendant had previously stipulated his felon status, as it did not prejudice defendant given the extensive curative measures the court undertook and the strength of the case against him.
