N.D. Ill., E. Div.

Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not commit plain error by allowing govt. to submit redacted indictment to jury that had removed allegations against defendant's former co-defendants, who were no longer on trial. Said submission did not constitute improper constructive amendment to indictment since defendant made no claim that redacted indictment broadened possible bases for conviction, and redacted indictment otherwise did not remove any allegations necessary to charged offense.
