  • confirming that prejudice was something “Ginsberg would need to establish” at an evidentiary hearing (cleaned up)
  • finding probable cause where defendant, carrying a bag, entered house occupied by narcotics dealer from whom an undercover agent was scheduled to purchase a large quantity of cocaine, then left without bag
  • “[T]he mere presence of a government agent, informant, or cooperating witness at conferences between defendant and counsel does not violate the sixth amendment.”
  • “To require a hearing on his sixth amendment claim, Ginsberg’s proffer would need to allege facts which, if proven,” would “establish that . . . the government intentionally invaded the attorney client relationship, and resulting prejudice” (cleaned up)
