ATLANTA (AP) -- A federal appeals court in Atlanta has turned away the latest attempt by actor Wesley Snipes to get his conviction and prison sentence on tax charges overturned.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta on Tuesday rejected the appeal by Snipes, who was convicted in 2008 on three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file income tax returns.

Defense lawyers contended they received two emails from former jurors who reported misconduct among other members of the panel. But the court held that it wasn't "strong, substantial and incontrovertible evidence" that would warrant a new trial.

Kenneth Melson acknowledged errors to congressional investigators

The acting director of the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the US attorney in Arizona are resigning over a botched operation to track the flow of guns to Mexico.
The ATF's Kenneth Melson had recently faced pressure by Congress to resign.

But hundreds of guns went missing and dozens have turned up at crime scenes.

The operation never led to any arrests.

The US attorney in Minnesota, B Todd Jones, will replace Mr Melson.
