Lafayette Wood v. United States

Wood, convicted of transferring marijuana without the required written order form ( 26 U.S.C. § 4742 (a)), appeals the District Court’s denial of his motion to vacate sentence ( 28 U.S.C. § 2255 ).

Wood’s contention that 26 U.S.C. § 4742 (a) violated his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination in light of Leary v. United States, 395 U.S. 6 , 89 S.Ct. 1532 , 23 L.Ed.2d 57 (1969), is without merit. The challenged statutory provision was upheld against an identical constitutional attack in Minor v. United States, 396 U.S. 87 , 90 S.Ct. 284 , 24 L.Ed.2d 283 (1969).

Affirmed.
