This legal document argues that a district court's supervisory authority to suppress evidence is limited and should only be used when there is a clear violation of constitutional, statutory, or procedural law. Citing multiple legal precedents, the author contends that this power must be 'sparingly exercised' and that the defendant in this case has not established such a violation, and is therefore not entitled to an evidentiary hearing to challenge the government's actions.
This document is a page from a legal filing, likely a brief or motion, dated April 16, 2021. It argues that the standard for proving a Fifth Amendment due process violation is extremely high, requiring government conduct that is so egregious it "shocks the conscience." The text cites numerous legal precedents, including cases like Rochin, to illustrate that such violations typically involve severe invasions of individual rights and bodily integrity, and notes the defendant bears a "very heavy" burden of proof.
This document is page 13 (pagination xii) of a court filing (Document 204) in Case 1:20-cr-00330 (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on April 16, 2021. It is a 'Table of Authorities' listing previous legal cases (legal precedents) cited elsewhere in the full brief, predominantly from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and the Southern District of New York.
