Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit September 25, 1986, 84-2687 (United States v. Adalberto Cervantes-Pacheco, Jerry Wayne Nelson and William E. Nelson)

GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:

The court substitutes this opinion for its earlier opinion reported at 793 F.2d 689 (5th Cir.1986).

This is a criminal appeal involving the characterization of a conspiracy and a claim that the Government hired and compensated its main witness on an impermissible contingent fee basis.
