Does a false statement or omission in a supporting affidavit invalidate a warrant?

A false statement or omission in a supporting affidavit will invalidate a warrant only if the omission is material. United States v. Rivera , 527 F.3d 891, 898 (9th Cir. 2008). To determine whether a false statement is material, "the reviewing court should set the affidavits false assertions to one side and then determine whether the affidavits remaining content is still sufficient to establish [necessity]." See United States v. Ippolito , 774 F.2d 1482, 1485 (9th Cir. 1985).

Defendants first argue that the affidavits improperly omitted information regarding the availability of state wiretaps. We disagree.
