Heading: Suppression Arguments

Text: 57 Next, Hansen argues that based upon the Fifth and Sixth Amendments, the district court should have suppressed inculpatory evidence, including Hansen's grand jury testimony and the tape recorded conversation with Stephan Brennan. The Government is quick to point out that these arguments are waived as Hansen never moved to suppress this evidence on Fifth and Sixth Amendment grounds, nor did he object to its admission on that basis. 58 Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 12(b)(3) requires defendants to file suppression motions prior to trial, and failure to do so constitutes express waiver. See Fed.R.Crim.P. 12(b)(3) and (h). We interpret the mandatory language of Rule 12 broadly to include waiver when a defendant fails to file a motion to suppress before trial, and have even extended waiver to a situation where a suppression motion was filed, but the defendant did not include a particular ground and wished to add it later. See United States v. Santos Batista, 239 F.3d 16, 20 (1st Cir.2001); United States v. Torres, 162 F.3d 6, 11 (1st Cir.1998). 59 This case does not fall at the outer bounds of our waiver decisions. Rather, it presents squarely a situation where a defendant has failed altogether to file a motion to suppress below, and as such, we will not consider Hansen's suppression arguments on appeal. See Santos Batista, 239 F.3d at 19-20.
