Description
PER CURIAM Before us is the government's emergency petition for a writ of mandamus requesting that we quash a subpoena for a witness in the case of United States of America v. Faloon, No. 91-0221 (S.D.Fla. filed Nov. 2, 1991). Defendants William Faloon and Saul Kent were indicted for introducing unapproved drugs, misbranded drug products and misbranded prescription drugs into interstate commerce in violation of 21 U.S.C. ร§ร§ 333(a)(2), 353(b)(1), 331(a), 333(b) and 18 U.S.C. ร§ 542. Pending before the district court is the defendants' motion to dismiss the indictment on the ground of selective prosecution. The defendants claim that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has failed to prosecute others similarly situated, specifically groups which have imported and distributed drugs not yet approved by the FDA. To substantiate this claim, defendants subpoenaed Dr. David Kessler, Commissioner of the FDA.
