Description

HILL, Circuit Judge: On October 27, 1981, appellee Nikolas Severdija was arrested by United States Coast Guard personnel after discovery of 8,000 pounds of marijuana aboard the vessel he captained. Severdija was subsequently tried and convicted in a jury trial of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. Â§ 955c, and possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. Â§ 955a(a) and 18 U.S.C. Â§ 2. Severdija moved for a new trial alleging that the government had withheld evidence favorable to his defense. The district court granted Severdija's motion, resulting in this appeal.
