Conviction for armed bank robbery and related crimes is affirmed where: 1) the evidence is sufficient to support defendant’s conviction for aiding and abetting the use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence; and 2) the district court did not err in  dismissing defendant’s first indictment without prejudice as the period of time spent in appeals did not violate the Speedy Trial Act.
