121853P.pdf   12/16/2013  Dwight Thomas  v.  United States
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-1853
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - Habeas. An evidentiary hearing was not required on 
   Thomas's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel as the decision not to 
   move for dismissal of the indictment on speedy trial grounds was a 
   tactical decision within the wide range of defense counsel competence 
   demanded by the Sixth Amendment; no error in denying Thomas's Rule 60(b) 
   motion.
