United States Sixth Circuit

A conviction for drug-trafficking and firearm-possession offenses is affirmed as the circuit court declines to review defendant's ineffective assistance claim on direct appeal, and rejects claims of error regarding defendant's right to: 1) a trial by jury; 2) a Franks hearing; and 3) due process.
