08/21/2007 | APPELLANT'S OPPOSITION to appellee's motion for summary affirmance | |||
08/21/2007 | FURTHER ORDERED that appellee's MOTION FOR SUMMARY AFFIRMANCE is GRANTED since the facts and law are both clear-cut and undisputed. See Oliver t. Carr Mgm't, Inc. v. Nat'l Delicatessen, Inc., 397 A.2d 914, 915 (D.C. 1979). The appellant cannot, as he must, see Downing v. U.S., 2007 D.C. App. LEXIS 461 (D.C. July 19, 2007), demonstrate plain error from the jury instructions. Specifically, since appellant was convicted of the general intent crime of unlawful distribution, see Webster v. U.S, 623 A.2d 1198 (D.C. 1993), and thejury was instructed that it might find him guilty as either an accomplice or a principal, and as the evidence was sufficient to convict him as a principal, it was not plain error to instruct thejury using thenatural and probable consequences language disapproved by this court's recent decisions in Wilson-Bey v. U.S., 903 A.2d 818 (D.C. 2006). Accordingly, it is *****MORE***** | |||
08/21/2007 | FURTHER ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the order on appeal be and HEREBY is AFFIRMED. (FARZTE) | |||
