Qian Williams v. United States
Securities
Did the court of appeals properly affirm the trial court's decisions?
QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW This case presents three issues: Did the court of appeals properly affirm the trial court and hold that the trial court was free to disregard a factual finding by another district court as to when and where the firearms had supposedly been found in the petitioner’s residence, did it correctly decide that a search warrant in a federal case should be sought from a state court judge without demonstrating unavailability of a federal judge or magistrate-judge, and should the Speedy Trial Act deadlines be extended by an assertion that witnesses who were in federal custody would not be available for 90 days? This Court's resolution of these issues would provide muchneeded guidance on how to determine these issues. i
