MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
NEWCOMER, District Judge.
Defendants have moved for dismissal of this indictment. They allege two grounds for the dismissal: 1) that the indictment does not charge a federal crime under the Hobbs Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1951; and 2) that their Fifth Amendment rights were violated by pre-indictment delay. For reasons stated below, this motion must be denied, but defendants may renew their claims at the close of the government's case.
