Court finds that Napadow's right to a speedy trial not violated...

U.S. v. NAPADOW

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee,

v.

MICHAEL NAPADOW, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 09-1920.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Argued December 4, 2009.

Decided February 23, 2010.

Before POSNER, RIPPLE and WOOD, Circuit Judges.

RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.

On April 17, 2008, a federal grand jury returned a six-count indictment charging Michael Napadow with knowingly devising a scheme to defraud and obtain money from home inspectors by selling fraudulent insurance. The indictment contained two counts of wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343 (Counts One and Three), and four counts of mail fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341 (Counts Two, Four, Five and Six). The district court denied his motion to dismiss the indictment for lack of a speedy trial. Mr. Napadow now seeks review of that decision. Because we conclude that the district court was correct, we affirm the judgment.
