Saraliene and other local attorneys filed motions to dismiss several federal Paycheck Protection Program and EIDL fraud cases. These motions were highlighted in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The motions argued that the government was prosecuting a disproportional number of African Americans and other minority defendants in connection with these cases.

The United States Supreme Court vacated the conviction of Saraliene’s client in this Computer Fraud and Abuse Act case. In United States v. Van Buren, Saraliene’s client was the subject of an FBI sting operation. At the FBI’s instruction, a person requested that Mr. Van Buren, a police officer, run a computer search for a license plate number that purportedly belonged to a local exotic dancer. Mr. Van Buren accessed the Georgia Crime Information Center database, which contains license plate and vehicle registration information. As a law enforcement officer, Van Buren was authorized to access this database for law-enforcement purposes. Mr. Van Buren was convicted of violating CFAA. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the conviction, rejecting Van Buren’s argument that he could not have violated the Act because he had permission to access the databases. The Supreme Court reversed the Eleventh Circuit ruling and vacated the conviction.

Saraliene represented an Atlanta-based travel agent in a million dollar fraud case. Saraliene took over the case after the client had entered a plea.
