After a Supreme Court remand, a Circuit Panel concludes that the defendants’ fraud and conversion convictions should be reversed because the confidential information misappropriated from a federal regulatory agency didn’t constitute “property” or a “thing of value” (to the agency) for purposes of wire fraud, Title 18 securities fraud, and conversion (in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1343, 1348, and 641). United States v. Blaszczak, Nos. 18-2811, 18-2825, 18-2867, 18-2878, __F.4th__, 2022 WL 17926047 (2d Cir. Dec. 27, 2022) (C.J.J. Kearse and Walker; Judge Sullivan dissents).

The government’s use of a former cellmate’s testimony to introduce a defendant’s statements about his planned trial strategy didn’t violate the Sixth Amendment right to the effective assistance of counsel where the witness wasn’t a government informant when the defendant confided in him. Also, a federal probation officer’s warrantless search of the home and car of a person “serving a term of supervised release” didn’t violate the Fourth Amendment because the probation officer needed only a “reasonable suspicion” to search, not a warrant or probable cause. United States v. Chandler, No. 18-1841, 56 F.4th 27 (2d Cir. [Dec. 27,] 2022) (C.J.J.’s Lynch, Carney, and Sullivan).
