United States v. Miller, No. 08-3116 (D.C. Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseDefendant, convicted of travel fraud and wire fraud for a scheme in which he obtained funds from investors and home buyers based on false representations about how the funds would be used, appealed his convictions and sentence, raising several challenges. The court remanded defendant's claim that his trial counsel was ineffective by failing to offer certain testimony and evidence to establish Fourth Amendment standing and by failing to move for dismissal under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. 3162(a)(2). The court rejected defendant's remaining challenges, including a number of passing suggestions of ineffective assistance of counsel mentioned only in footnotes or conclusory statements in defendant’s briefing. Those passing references, which contain no discussion of the relevant law, are “not enough to raise [those] issue[s] for our review.”
