1Opinion of the Court
BOWNES, Senior Circuit Judge.
Defendant-appellant, Stelios M. Vavlitis, was convicted of bank fraud, 18 U.S.C. § 1344(1), for kiting checks and withdrawing money from accounts bearing insufficient funds. We consider on appeal whether the district court erred by dismissing midtrial the superseding indictment on which Vavlitis had not been arraigned, and by allowing the trial to continue on the original indictment. We also must determine whether the jury instruction on reasonable doubt was erroneous, and whether there was sufficient proof of fraudulent intent. We affirm.
