Whether the federal prosecution's reliance on a state search warrant without making it part of the formal record of the United States District Court constitutes structural error
QUESTIONS PRESENTED I. As Courts of the United States are Courts of Record, is it structural error for the federal Prosecution to rely upon a state search warrant for the admission of evidence without making such search warrant part of the formal record of the United States District Court by filing it with the District Court? Does the virtually universal practice of federal prosecutors of obtaining state search warrants, and using those state search warrants in federal prosecutions, but not filing those state search warrants with the District Court, constitute structural error as said warrants usually are critical to the outcome of the case? ii
