Charles White-Spunner, U.S. Atty., Irwin W. Coleman, Asst. U.S. Atty., Mobile, Ala., for plaintiff-appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama.

Before COLEMAN, DYER and RONEY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Although defendant correctly asserts that the comment of a witness reflecting upon defendant's character was inadmissible evidence, a study of the record, the manner in which the comment came in, the trial judge's instructions to the jury, and the nature of the overall evidence in the case, convinces us that no reversible error occurred.

Affirmed.
