W.D.Mo.: Govt moots motion to suppress by deciding not to use challenged evidence

When the defendant files a motion to suppress and the government elects not to use the evidence at trial, the motion becomes moot. United States v. Bowers, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 45445 (W.D. Mo. Mar. 11, 2021).

Defendant’s 2255 for alleged ineffective assistance of counsel in not adequately pursuing a motion to suppress is denied because defendant doesn’t show that the motion to suppress would have been granted. United States v. Basey, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 44630 (D. Alaska Mar. 9, 2021).*
