United States Eighth Circuit

District court did not abuse its discretion in granting government's motion to dismiss certain counts of indictment for conspiracy to produce methamphetamine, as the motion was motivated by a desire to clarify presentation of the case to the jury, and such motive did not evidence bad faith; constitutional challenges to 21 U.S.C. sections 841 and 846 rejected.
