001017P.pdf   10/10/2000  USA  v.  Mary Jane Johnson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-1017
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
Criminal Case. Government's interlocutory appeal of grant of motion to suppress for failure to disclose expert witness. Government's certification that evidence is material is sufficient to support jurisdiction. Although government broke its promise to supply discovery, district court abused its discretion in striking expert testimony without establishing prejudice and court should have chosen less severe sanction. District court's order granting suppression motion is reversed.
