The 28 U.S.C. § 2254 Blog

CA4 — memorandum disposition

United States v. Snyder, No. 05-7731 — This order is confusing.  The district court denied the § 2255 motion but certified for appeal whether the public-safety exception to Miranda allowed the trial court to admit statements the defendant made concerning the location of a weapon.  The court ruled that trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to ask for suppression of the statements.  (That’s not the claim certified for appeal, but both roads lead to the same place.)
