Questions presented

Whether the admission in evidence of 161 eBay & PayPal accounts seized and modified by them with information obtained from Postal Inspectors to * fabricate probable cause prior to a warrant violated the Fourth Amendment.
-
Whether concealment of eBay & PayPal’s Activity Logs disclosing account activity in question from the defense prior to, during and post-trial by the Government violated the Petitioner’s rights of due process under the Fifth Amendment.
-
Whether redactions by the Government in its pretrial disclosures that limited the defense from access to witnesses violated due process and compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in a Defendant’s favor under the Fifth and Sixth Amendment.
-
Whether the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit erred in affirming the District Court’s judgement of conviction for failing to find that the District Court committed plain error by using a procedural loophole to suppress Brady evidence unavailable to appeals counsel, and when it denied the Petitioner a hearing to present evidence of evidential tampering and entrapment by Postal Inspectors in violation under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.
