NE: State dropping count CI was witness in keeps identity under wraps; can’t show materiality to other counts

The CI was used to get the search warrant for drugs in defendant’s house. During the search, the CI said there would be a gun, and officers found it. Later, the state chose not to pursue the drug charge but did the gun charge. Defendant’s motion to reveal the CI was properly denied because the CI could add nothing to the case against defendant for the gun. State v. Blair, 300 Neb. 372, 2018 Neb. LEXIS 134 (June 29, 2018).

Defendant’s plea and appeal waiver cut off his ability to appeal the guilty plea and suppression issues. People v. Nieves, 2018 NY Slip Op 05535, 2018 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 5457 (3d Dept. July 26, 2018).*
