December 17, 2007 Ninth Circuit Opinion
Today, the Ninth Circuit issued only one published opinion:
In U.S. v. Biagon, the Court held that the defendant’s right to allocate was not infringed by the district court’s refusal to seal the courtroom. The defendant did not follow the procedure to seal the courtroom, nor was the request tied to a desire to allocate in private. The defendant did actually allocate, and nothing indicate he was refraining from saying more. Finally, the district court was aware of the extent of his cooperation.
