United States v. Galloway

Defendant appealed his conviction for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin. The court concluded that defendant failed to establish that he received ineffective assistance of counsel; the district court did not abuse its discretion by ruling that he could not take any discovery materials to the detention center where he was being held and in providing him with an alternative setup to review discovery in a courthouse lockup area; the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress the wiretap evidence where the government had submitted sufficient facts to show the need for wiretaps; and the district court did not plainly err in qualifying two officers as expert witnesses. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.View "United States v. Galloway" on Justia Law
