Before CHAMBERS, TRASK and CHOY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
The judgments of conviction in this narcotics case are affirmed.
Appellants' best point is a claim of prejudice in the dismissal of the indictment and reindictment — loss of witnesses.
We are unable to find that the district court's finding of no prejudice from the delay was clearly erroneous.
The mandate will issue forthwith.
