U.S. v. Laguna

In prosecution on charge of willfully interfering with final deportation order arising out of defendant-alien's refusal to comply with order directing him to obtain Polish passport prior to his scheduled deportation, Dist. Ct. did not err in barring defendant from presenting evidence that he did not have requisite intent to violate said order where govt. had failed to enforce prior similar orders, which, according to defendant, gave him impression that he would never be deported. Defendant's proposed evidence was irrelevant to elements of charged offense, which concerned different time frame than actions at issue in proposed evidence, and proposed evidence improperly invited jury to commit jury nullification.
