United States v. Pope — Post-Dismissal Discovery, Protective-Order and Sanctions Opinion
Judge Rudolph Contreras denied William Pope additional post-dismissal discovery and sanctions, granted the government return of sensitive materials, and treated the January 21, 2025 dismissal with prejudice as ending the criminal case. The opinion also records the government’s acknowledgment that a filing inaccurately said Pope assaulted officers and recounts the deletion of Topeka arrest body-camera footage under a local retention policy.
