The following excerpt is from Kaiser v. Cascade Capital, LLC, 989 F.3d 1127 (9th Cir. 2021):
15 For example, a defendant charged with knowingly receiving stolen goods must know the goods were stolen, because the goods' legal status (i.e. , that they were stolen) is a collateral question of law. See Liparota v. United States , 471 U.S. 419, 425 n.9, 105 S.Ct. 2084, 85 L.Ed.2d 434 (1985).
