011986P.pdf   01/10/2002  United States  v.  Arthur Lee Burns Jr.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  01-1986
   Western District of Missouri   
   Criminal case - direct criminal appeal. Conviction for 
   conspiring to commit credit card fraud and sentence are 
   affirmed. Admission of defendant's silence during 
   post-arrest interrogation after he signed Miranda waiver 
   is not a violation of constitutional rights, and even it 
   was error, the error was harmless beyond a reasonable 
   doubt. Any error in admitting witness statements was 
   harmless. District court did not err in calculating loss 
   and in concluding there was only one conspiracy.
