Certiorari denied · October 5, 2026

Questions presented

The questions presented for review are:

  1. Whether a court may deny discovery on a selective enforcement claim where the defendant has presented evidence—more than mere speculation—of a racially discriminatory pattern, on the ground that the showing is insufficiently comprehensive or representative.

  2. Whether a court may deny discovery on a selective enforcement claim by treating a defendant’s initiation of contact with law enforcement as a factor weighing against discovery, notwithstanding that law enforcement retains discretion over whether and how to pursue the investigation. prefix
