United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
July 15, 1971.

Gary B. Fleischman, Beverly Hills, Cal., for appellants.

Before CHAMBERS, TRASK and CHOY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
The judgments of conviction in this narcotics case are affirmed.

2
Appellants' best point is a claim of prejudice in the dismissal of the indictment and reindictment — loss of witnesses.

3
We are unable to find that the district court's finding of no prejudice from the delay was clearly erroneous.

4
The mandate will issue forthwith.
