MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Saltaris, 97 F.3d 1462 (9th Cir. 1996):
Given the meritless nature of this claim, the district judge cannot be said to have abused his discretion by declining to hold an evidentiary hearing on this issue. See United States v. Blaylock, 20 F.3d 1458, 1464 (9th Cir.1994) (as amended); Baumann v. United States, 692 F.2d 565, 571 (9th Cir.1982).
