MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Concepcion, 579 F.3d 214 (2nd Cir. 2009):
We have jurisdiction to review a district judge's decision to suppress evidence, 18 U.S.C. 3731, and we grant considerable deference to the district court's decision whether to allow a wiretap, ensuring only that "the facts set forth in the application were minimally adequate to support the determination that was made," United States v. Miller, 116 F.3d 641, 663 (2d Cir.1997) (internal quotation marks omitted).
