Question Presented (from Petition)

1) Did the Second Court of Appeals err when they failed to apply their own
standards under United States v. Raymonda, 780 F.3d 105 (2nd Cir. 2015),
when dismissing. Mr. Pratt's argument of staleness?

2) Relying on the sufficiency of a single, undocumented, second-hand
conclusory statement of "the appearance of child pornography " for the
determination of probable cause poses a question of exceptional
importance before the Court , needing Court guidance to resolve this
conflict between the Circuit Courts.

3) Did the lower courts so abandon their duty to "conscientiously review"
when dismissing Fourth Amendment violations, and Court rulings such as
United States v. Leon under the banners of "Novelty" and "Good Faith",
that Supreme Court intervention is necessary?
