Tenth Circuit -- United States v. Cooper

United States v. Cooper

Tax & wire fraud -

Sufficient evidence.

No Brady violation where the evidence is cumulative to other stff in the record calling the deft a schmuck - insufficiently stark contrast to provide a new angle on the impeachment of the witness.

Warrant not defective, as specific grounds were cited, not mere conclusions.

Warrant sufficintly particular (when read in the context of the affadvits).

No error in denial of Franks hearing.
