How courts have described this case

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

  • describing allegation that “investigators should have done more work” as insufficient to meet “high standard re‐ quired for convening a Franks hearing”
  • rejecting the defendant’s argument that the officers should have conducted more investigation and included more infor- mation with the warrant because their failure to do so was, at most, negligent and “negligence is no basis for convening a Franks hearing”
  • “These elements are hard to prove, and thus Franks hearings are rarely held.”
