United States v. William Haskell Farmer

How courts have described this case

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

• stating that it would “defy common sense” “that a successful and profitable criminal enterprise simply faded away for no apparent reason”
• noting that defendant’s “home phone records gave the Customs agents reason to believe that the records [sought by the search warrant] were likely located at [defendant’s] residence”
• counterfeiting to purchase irregular and overrun Nike goods and then, without authorization, affix Nike labels to them
• denying staleness argument because it was unlikely that Farmer’s large-scale counterfeiting operation would have been suddenly abandoned
• “[i]t was Farmer rather than the trademark holder who oversaw the construction of the shirts.”
• “[W]e must look to all the facts and circumstances of the case, including the nature of the unlawful activity alleged, the length of the activity, and the nature of the property to be seized.” (internal quotation marks omitted)
