United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction and sentence for drug crimes is affirmed where: 1) defendant's claim under the Speedy Trial Act is waived as defendant failed to move for dismissal and thus did not preserve his claim for appellate review; 2) a twenty-month delay between indictment and trial did not violate defendant's Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial as the circumstances of the delay fell short of establishing a Sixth Amendment violation; and 3) the court did not err in disqualifying defendant's attorney.
