The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Salas-Vasquez, 46 F.3d 1148 (9th Cir. 1995):
Appellants claim the court's failure to view the government's photograph served to deny them due process. They liken their situation to that of the defendant in United States v. Hobbs, 31 F.3d 918 (9th Cir.1994). The cases are not similar. In Hobbs, the district court excluded the testimony of defense witnesses to punish their unwitting violation of a sequestration order, a remedy we concluded was too harsh. See id. at 923.
