June 30, 2011):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>While Defendant asserts that the agents agreed not to disclose his infidelity \u201con the condition that [Defendant] consent to the searches,\u201d Defendant\u2019s Memo at 10, this assertion is unsupported by the evidence. It was Defendant who set the conditions for his consent, telling the agents that he would agree to the search of the cell phones in exchange for the promise not to return them to the girlfriend. Similarly, it was Defendant who set the conditions for the search of the apartment, telling the agents that he would consent only if they agreed to let him alert the girlfriend in advance and accompany the agents during the search. There is no evidence whatsoever that the agents either explicitly or implicitly threatened to expose Defendant\u2019s infidelity.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In this \u00a7 2255, the argument that defense counsel failed to attack the search warrant as a general warrant was frivolous.
