United States v. Cesar Tenorio-Angel

How courts have described this case

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

• “We also find that the informant was not used as a phantom witness against appellant. The tapes involving phone conversations with the informant were struck from the record.”
• “‘Mere conjecture or supposition about the possible relevancy of the informant’s testimony is insufficient to warrant disclosure. The defendant must show that the informant’s testimony would significantly aid in establishing an asserted defense.’”
• “We do not find that the informant played a pivotal role in the drug transactions with respect to the appellant’s participation. The informant merely introduced appellant to the agents and then observed part of the criminal activity. This level of participation does not mandate disclosure.”
