• stating that when fashioning an appropriate sanction, a court must take into account the particular character and consequences of the misconduct
• providing that Levy did not apply because the circumstances of Levy were not present in the case
• noting in passing that “the interpretation of the local rules of a district court by one of its judges is entitled to deference”
• applying the Weatherford test but finding that the facts of the trial court's findings did not implicate Levy because the government \did not intentionally invade confidential attorney-client conversations\
• holding Sixth Amendment violation follows from finding of prejudice
• rejecting the defendant’s Sixth Amendment claim that an informant’s disclosure “compromised [the defendant’s] confidential defense strategy” partly because the defendant “ha[d] not argued that actual prejudice resulted from the . . . disclosure”
