   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3412
                          and No:  21-3417
                          and No:  21-3874
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Northern   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Grasz and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The court had appellate jurisdiction over an 
   order denying the government's motion to dismiss charges under the 
   collateral-order doctrine; the district court erred in denying the 
   government's motion to dismiss some of the charges based on its 
   disagreement as to what penalty the defendant ought to face; while the 
   factors the court listed as to why it thought defendant was getting off 
   too easy may be important factors at sentencing, they are not reasons to 
   interfere with the government's charging decisions, no matter how much the 
   district court may disagree with them; reversed and remanded with 
   instructions to grant the government's motion to dismiss four counts of 
   the five counts in the matter.
