How courts have described this case

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

• finding pretrial identification procedures were not unduly suggestive even though photo of defendant was hazier, defendant appeared less clean-shaven than two of the other suspects, and defendant was the only person appearing in both the photo montage and lineup
• simple issues, straightforward presentation, and short trial reduced danger of prejudice from joinder of two bank robbery counts
• “[I]n light of the relative simplicity of the issues and the straightforward manner of presentation, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the defendant’s motion to sever the offenses.”
• money seized by state authorities upon defen- dant’s arrest for driving under the influence could be later reviewed by a federal agent to obtain serial numbers in a robbery investigation without a warrant
• refusal to sever two bank robbery counts was not an abuse of discretion because evidence of one count would have been admissible to provide identity in the other
• “[I]n light of the relative simplicity of the issues and the straightforward manner of presentation, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the defendant’s motion to sever the offenses.”
