United States Eighth Circuit

Procedural requirements of 21 U.S.C. Sec. 851(a)(1), concerning notice of reliance on prior convictions to enhance a sentence, are not jurisdictional and may be waived where, as here, record establishes that defendant received the protections required by that statute and simply waived the written information requirement.
