take a look at this and see if it has any bearing on judge cannon overseeing the case.

....has nothing to do with assigning judges to a case.
Neither does
Martin v. United States, 439 F. App'x 842 (11th Cir. 2011)
U.S. v. Martin, 455 F.3d 1227 (11th Cir. 2006)
UNITED STATES v. MARTIN No.?02-10676 (11th Cir. 2003)
UNITED STATES v. MARTIN No. 1411019 (11th Cir. 2015).
There's a lot of people named "Martin" who have appealed a criminal conviction to the 11th Circuit over the years. You are going to have to do better than that.
I'd love to see Cannon assigned to this case and end up doing something so stupid the 11th Circuit catapaults her into the sea.

(2,684 posts)The appellate panel simply got tired of overruling the district court judge who couldn't get the sentencing right.

In any event, thats the sort of entertainment Id like to see.
I was looking for a case directly dealing with judge assignment at the outset.

(8,387 posts)Theres a bunch of US v. Martin cases, so that title doesnt identify a particular case.
As noted above, this one:
U.S. v. Martin, 455 F.3d 1227 (11th Cir. 2006)
is a case where the 11th Circuit was pissed enough with the district court judge, that they remanded the case with instructions to the district to assign another judge.
So, if Cannon does something stupid, that can happen, because they already slapped her around on the investigative phase of this case.
I dont get the freak out over Cannon. Theres only so much she can do, and the DOJ will appeal as necessary.

No worries.
