Is a refusal to give entrapment instructions for abuse of discretion a re-examining?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Doubleday, 804 F.2d 1091 (9th Cir. 1986):

1 This court has reviewed refusals to give entrapment instructions for abuse of discretion. See, e.g., United States v. Fleishman, 684 F.2d 1329, 1342 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1044, 103 S.Ct. 464, 74 L.Ed.2d 614 (1982). However, the wording in Escobar de Bright clearly implies a de novo review. The result in this case would be the same under either standard.

2 Requirements for such management plans are set forth in 16 U.S.C. Sec. 1853.
