Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
Defendant's tax evasion conviction is affirmed, where the delay prior to the District Court's hearing on his motion to dismiss the indictment did not violate the Speedy Trial Act, as the Act did not require the dismissal of an indictment whenever the defendant files a pre-trial motion and retracts it at a hearing held more than seventy days later.
