United States v. Pedro Perez-Reveles
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
HUG, Circuit Judge:
Pedro Perez-Reveles appeals his convictions for distribution of heroin and conspiracy to distribute heroin. 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a) and 846. He contends it was error to deny his pretrial motion for dismissal of the indictment because the trial did not commence within the 70-day period required by the Speedy Trial Act (the “Act”), 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161-3174. We hold that the appellant was not tried within the required 70-day period, and therefore the convictions must be reversed and the indictment dismissed pursuant to section 3162 of the Act.
