UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
Francisco CORTEZ-LOPEZ, Defendant-Appellee.

No. 94-50553.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted Oct. 6, 1995.*
Decided Oct. 10, 1995.

Before: HUG and LEAVY, Circuit Judges, and JONES,** District Judge.

MEMORANDUM***

The Government appeals the dismissal of its indictment against Francisco Cortez-Lopez arising out of its failure to comply with a discovery order. Based on the stipulation of the parties and for the reasons set forth in our opinion in United States v. Gomez-Lopez, 62 F.3d 304 (9th Cir.1995), we reverse the dismissal of the indictment because the scope of discovery ordered bears no relationship to the decision to prosecute Mr. Cortez-Lopez.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

*

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a) and 9th Cir.R. 34-4
