Question presented

1. Whether, the lower panel(s) abused their discretion by not reviewing appellant Koffie's constitutional motions ? If so, did the United States court of appeals for the ninth circuit err in not reviewing appellants constitutional motions that were filed properly ? 2. Whether, the district court erred in not granting an evidentiary hearing in regards to appellants Franks motion ? If so, was appellants forth amendment rights violated once all of the false statements are corrected and material omissions are included ? 3. Whether, the district court and lower panel(s) erred in not granting appellants motion to suppress the Toshiba laptop ? (as the government did not have a search warrant to search the laptop, additionally the laptop was not on the consent to search form ). If so, did the lower panel(s) and district court err in not ordering suppression and was the appellants fourth amendment rights violated ? 4. Whether, suppression is warranted to appellants search warrant(s) as the ninth circuit has noted that suppression for violation of Rule 41 (f)(1)(c) is required if an appellant/defendant is prejudiced or a deliberate disregard of the rule ? If so, did the lower panel(s) and district court err in not ordering the suppression and was the appellants fourth, fifth and six amendment rights violated ? 5. Whether, the district court abuse it's discretion or err by not allowing the appellant to have oral arguments for his post trial motion to dismiss ? 6. Whether, appellant showed prejudice in his (1) Brady claim from the agents witholding the surveillance that contradicts their case and (2) did the appellant show circumstantially or deliberately that two shipments were fabricated against him ? If so, did the lower panel(s) and district court err in not reviewing and granting appellants post trial motion to dismiss ? Was there a violation to the fifth amendment ?

What happens next

The Court must decide whether to hear the petition. No oral argument or decision window exists before the Court grants review.
