What jurisdiction does a federal district court have over crimes defined in Title 18 of the Federal Criminal Code?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Bibb, 855 F.2d 863 (9th Cir. 1988):
The fact that the crimes were not defined and specified in Title 18 does not affect the jurisdiction of the district court. Federal district courts have exclusive original jurisdiction over all offenses against the laws of the United States, including the crimes defined in Title 26. United States v. Studley, 783 F.2d 934, 937 (9th Cir.1986).
