   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-3504
   District of South Dakota   
   Criminal Case - criminal law. District court did not err in dismissing 
   indictment on statute of limitations grounds. Indictment charged 
   defendant with abusive acts between 1988 and 1992. Under 5-year 
   statute of limitations, government had until 1993 to charge for the earliest 
   conduct. Section 3509(k), enacted in 1990, and recodified as section 
   3283, extended statute before prosecution was barred and does not violate 
   ex post factor clause. [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Heaney and
