This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Federal law provided that it was illegal to operate a gambling business if it was in violation of state law, involved five or more persons, and had substantially been operating continually for 30 days or had a gross revenue of $2,000 on any single day. D and seven others moved to dismiss the indictment on the conspiracy count, claiming that there could be no crime unless five persons agreed. The court issued a memorandum opinion with respect to D's arguments.
