Banks v. Central Intelligence Agency

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that CIPA placed sufficient reciprocal burdens on the government and so the overall balance of discovery was not tipped against the defendant
• finding that the only result from a failure to comply with the Section 5(a) notice requirements is that the classified information could potentially be precluded at trial
• finding the possible preclusion of undisclosed classified information to be outweighed by the government’s regulatory interest in protecting that information
• “[T]he Confrontation clause does not guarantee the right to undiminished surprise with respect to cross-examination of prosecutorial witnesses.”
• “CIPA ... narrows the factual issues at stake and authorizes this Court to impose upon the Government a continuing duty to disclose rebuttal evidence or have such evidence excluded.”
