U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-1153
U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Bismarck
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The local police did not violate defendant's
Fourth Amendment rights by detaining him at the request of the Border
Patrol as the cooperation between the police and the Border Patrol was
within the authority conferred by Congress in 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1357(g)(10);
Brady argument rejected as the defendant failed to show how the unproduced
text messages from a Confidential Informant to a police officer about a
potential burglary were either favorable to him or material to his charged
offense; further there is no evidence of intentional deletion of the
missing text messages.
