142758P.pdf 12/30/2014 United States v. Lorenzo Lorenzo-Lucas
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-2758
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Bright, Author, with Loken and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Under this court's existing case law, a
warrant of deportation (form I-205) is not testimonial evidence that
implicates the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment, and this
result is not contrary to the Supreme Court's decision in Melendez-Diaz v.
Massachusetts, 557 U.S. 305 (2007); defendant's argument that warrants of
deportation are prepared in anticipation of litigation is rejected.
