The Supreme Court granted cert today in Smith v. Arizona, a Confrontation Clause case. Here is the question presented:
Judges disagree on denial of rehearing en banc on First Step Act retroactivity language dlvr.it/SwdZxQ
Sixth Circuit Blog retweeted
THIS IS A BIG DEAL: 8th Circuit sua sponte rules that when the government seizes a cell phone with a warrant, it has to return the phone if it's not needed, and/or return data it doesn't need. This appears to be outside Rule 41 return motions, sort of an ongoing constiutional duty. I don't think I have ever seen anything like this, so it's a potential game-changer for government practices nationwise—or else potential fodder for a government petition for rehearing. Colloton dissents as to this, in effect saying, what are you doing? And he's right that this would be a major change in the law. To top it off, it's in the Mike Lindell case, that's the MyPillow guy. Here we all thought Lindell's claim was frivolous, and after ruling against him on the merits of the claim, the panel then suggests a new set of principles for cell phone searches for the trial court to consider on remand. ecf.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/23/09/2… #N
