MEMORANDUM *
Stacy Eldridge was convicted by jury on three counts: (1) conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 3,4-methylene-dioxymethamphetamine (“ecstacy” or “MDMA”), in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (Count One); (2) conspiracy to import MDMA, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 963 (Count Two); and (3) aiding and abetting the importation of MDMA, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 952 (a) and 18 U.S.C. § 2 (a) (Count Seven). She challenges the validity of her convictions on numerous grounds. We AFFIRM.

Matta-Ballesteros, 71 F.3d 754, 762 (9th Cir.1995), amended by 98 F.3d 1100 (9th Cir.1996). We review the district court’s decision to reinstate a dismissed indictment for abuse of discretion.
