U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-2188
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Gruender,
Circuit Judge]
Criminal case - Attorneys' Fees. District court did not abuse its
discretion by denying defendant's motion for attorneys' fees under the
Hyde Amendment as the prosecution, although dismissed because of
problems with the search warrant application, was not vexatious or
frivolous as the government had strong evidence of defendant's guilt and
non-frivolous arguments as to why it should be able to use this evidence.
Chief Judge Riley, dissenting.
