​US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Opinions
United States v. Colorado Cessa

Docket: 16-50328
Opinion Date: June 26, 2017
Judge: Stephen Andrew Higginson
Areas of Law: Criminal Law

Defendant appealed his conviction for conspiracy to commit money laundering. The Fifth Circuit remanded for further findings on the Brady and Giglio claim, holding that the district court clearly erred in concluding that the FBI Forms 302 (official interview memoranda) were not favorable. The court did not reach defendant's challenge to the forfeiture order, and otherwise rejected defendant's arguments.
