How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the same Fourteenth Amendment analysis governs selective prosecution and selective enforcement claims
• stating that an individual bringing a selective enforcement claim “must demonstrate that a law or regulation was enforced against him, but not against similarly situated individuals of other races”
• stating that “[t]o meet his burden under Armstrong, [the defendant] needed to present evidence that the [law enforcement] agents observed whites engaging in the same behavior as [him] ... but chose not to [enforce the applicable law against them]”
• rejecting selective enforcement defense because defense expert's statistical data failed to provide a basis for concluding that individuals who were not stopped by police were similarly situated to the defendant
• applying Armstrong limits to claim that defendant was singled out for law enforcement interview
• explaining that “statistics must be relevant and reliable”
