042715P.pdf   05/09/2005  USA  v.  SLW
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2715
   Western District of Missouri   
   Criminal case - criminal law. District court did not abuse its discretion 
   in transferring juvenile for criminal prosecution as an adult; district court 
   correctly applied the factors set out in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 5032; while 
   magistrate judge erred in considering uncharged, unadjudicated conduct 
   in making his report and recommendation, the district court corrected the 
   error and did not consider that information in making its decision; 
   hearsay rule does not apply at juvenile transfer proceedings, and the 
   district court could consider hearsay evidence.
