Bell v. Angah

How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing that a non-party state agency ordinarily must defy a subpoena and incur a contempt order to perfect an appeal
• predicting that the district court's ruling might increase the likelihood of recurrence
• noting \heightened federalism concerns\ as a factor weighing in favor of exercising advisory mandamus jurisdiction over a state government's claim of privilege
• finding a likelihood of repetition based on \the fact that multiple circuits have already weighed in on the subject\
• declining to adopt Ryan’s rule, but suggesting that, under circumstances analogous to this case, the court would consider applying Ryan’s categorical bar to the state’s assertion of privilege
• “[W]hen the federal grand jury is investigating potential crimes that state officials . . . may have committed,” an overly-broad application of the privilege may operate to “facilitate[e] rather than deter[] crime.”
