Description
The United States appeals from dismissal by the District Court of an indictment charging William B. Clendening with three counts of attempted evasion of income taxes in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7201. The Government contends that the trial court erred in predicating its dismissal with prejudice on alleged noncompliance with the District Courts Rule 50(b) Plan for Achieving Prompt Disposition of Criminal Cases of the Southern District of Texas. The Plan establishes time limits within which procedures prior to trial, the trial itself, and sentencing must take place, in the absence of justifiable delays. Although these time limits were exceeded in the prosecution of the present case, the delays involved did not warrant dismissal under the Plan, and we therefore reverse.
