What is the effect of a remand order for a defendant who has been convicted of a charge of possession of a firearm while on remand pending appeal?

It is also significant that, after conviction, when the probability of flight was presumably at its maximum, the trial court set bail pending appeal, though in an amount greater than that upon which defendant had been released before trial. There is nothing to indicate why this less drastic action would not have sufficed during trial. See United States v. Bentvena, 288 F.2d 442, 445 (2d Cir. 1961).

We are not persuaded, however, that the remand order, though error prejudiced defendant or denied him a fair trial.
