US v. Cardenas-Mendoza, No. 07-10553
Defendant's drug conviction is affirmed where the district court abused its discretion under the Jencks Act when it did not strike the testimony of a government agent whose grand jury testimony transcript could not be produced, but the error was harmless because the agent's testimony played only a small part in the government's case.
