  1. USA v. Snipes et al

    RESPONSE in opposition

    Filed August 9, 2010

    The Eleventh Circuit rightfully was dismissive of Snipes’s first argument because, as this Court recognized, that argument essentially claimed a heretofore unrecognized right to a bench trial before a jury trial on a factual issue that could not be reconciled with Supreme Court precedent. See United States v. Snipes, No. 08-12402, 2010 WL 2794190, at *7-*8 (11th Cir. July 16, 2010) (“This claim purportedly has a constitutional dimension. . . . Indeed, it would not have been proper for the district court to find the appropriate venue in a pretrial evidentiary hearing.”)
