The following excerpt is from United States v. Braan, No. 14-2667 (2nd Cir. 2015):
"requires the court to determine whether good cause exists to deny the defendant the opportunity to confront the adverse witness." United States v. Williams, 443 F.3d 35, 45 (2d Cir. 2006). "In making that determination, the court must balance, on the one hand, the defendant's interest in confronting the declarant[] against, on the other hand, the government's reasons for not producing the witness and the reliability of the proffered hearsay."
