  v.                                                          Case No. 6:21-cr-141-RBD-NWH

  EMMET BOWENS


                                               ORDER

         Before the Court in this wire fraud and money laundering case is the pro se

  Defendant’s two-page omnibus motion to suppress evidence and to dismiss the

  indictment, and seeking release on bond. (Doc. 209; see Doc. 215.)

         As to suppression, Defendant does not describe with particularity any

  evidence obtained through unlawful search or seizure, any statements he made

  while being interrogated, 1 or any specific government misconduct, 2 so the motion

  to suppress based on purported Fourth and Fifth Amendment 3 violations is due

  to be denied. (See Doc. 209); United States v. Richardson, 764 F.2d 1514, 1527




         1 To the extent Defendant made any post-arrest statements (see Doc. 44), the Government

  previously indicated it did not intend to use them in its case-in-chief (Doc. 61), so the Court will
  only take up the Government’s latest argument that no custodial interrogation occurred
  (Doc. 215, p. 14) if it becomes necessary at trial.
          2 Defendant appears to take issue with “compelled financial certifications” (Doc. 209, p. 2),

  but to the extent that means he challenges the Government’s use of subpoenas to obtain bank
  records, Defendant has no reasonable expectation of privacy in most information voluntarily
  disclosed to third parties. See Carpenter v. United States, 585 U.S. 296, 308 (2018).
          3 The Court has already rejected Defendant’s speedy trial arguments (Doc. 209, pp. 2–3).

  (See Doc. 193.)

  (11th Cir. 1985) (motion to suppress must identify with particularity evidence to

  be suppressed and basis for relief). And because Defendant has not established

  any violation, let alone any prejudice, the motion to dismiss is also due to be

  denied. See United States v. O’Keefe, 825 F.2d 314, 318 (11th Cir. 1987) (motion to

  dismiss for constitutional violations must show prejudice). Defendant’s argument

  that he should be released on bond (Doc. 209, p. 3) is likewise a nonstarter because

  he is a flight risk—having evaded capture (Doc. 116) and refused to recognize the

  authority of the Court (see Doc. 207).

          Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendant’s motion

  (Doc. 209) is DENIED.

          DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on January 22,

  2026.
