United States v. Keith G. Wright

Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit

Decided January 10, 1994No. 91-3244PublishedCited by 31 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Opinion for the Court filed by Chief Judge MIKVA.

MIKVA, Chief Judge:

Keith G. Wright appeals his conviction on two counts of distributing crack cocaine. As grounds for reversal, Mr. Wright asserts that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing his previous indictment without prejudice to reprosecution under the Speedy Trial Act. Although we have concerns about the ad hoc nature of the Government’s procedures for complying with the Speedy Trial Act, we hold that the district court did not abuse its discretion and we affirm Mr. Wright’s subsequent conviction.
