    The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of Willie George Gorsuch's motion for reduction of his sentence. The appellate court found that the record supported the district court's ruling that the motion was without merit. Additionally, the appellate court noted that while district courts can advise defendants of rulings on motions through opinion letters, a memorandum opinion is a better practice for conforming to established procedure.

    378 F.

    2d 937

    UNITED STATES of America


    v.
    Willie George GORSUCH, Chester O'Neal Teasley, Titus
    Philemon Brown, James Edward Warren; Willie George
    Gorsuch, Appellant.
    No. 16284.

    United States Court of Appeals Third Circuit.


    Submitted June 5, 1967.
    Decided June 15, 1967.

    Willie George Gorsuch, pro se.


    Don Allen Resnikoff, Plainfield, N. J., David M. Satz, Jr., U. S. Atty.,
    Newark, N. J., for appellee.
    Before STALEY, Chief Judge, KALODNER, Circuit Judge, and
    SHERIDAN, District Judge.
    OPINION OF THE COURT.
    PER CURIAM.

    On review of the record we are of the opinion that the record amply sustains
    the District Court's holding that the appellant's motion for reduction of sentence
    was without merit. The Order of the District Court denying the motion will be
    affirmed.

    It merits observation that the District Court advised the appellant of its
    disposition of his motion in an "Opinion Letter". We are of the view that
    disposition by an "Opinion Letter" is not a desirable practice. A Memorandum
    Opinion would more adequately conform to established procedure.
