United States v. Eddie Mervin Whittaker, Freddie Williams

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit August 19, 1971

United States v. Eddie Mervin Whittaker, Freddie Williams, 443 F.2d 1371 (9th Cir. 1971)

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgments of conviction in this narcotics case are affirmed.

Appellants’ best point is a claim of prejudice in the dismissal of the indictment and reindictment — loss of witnesses.

We are unable to find that the district court’s finding of no prejudice from the delay was clearly erroneous.

The mandate will issue forthwith.
