W.D.N.Y.: One has standing to challenge a search of stuff left with another during incarceration

FourthAmendment.com - News - Tue, 2025-04-22 07:18

Defendant left property with another while he was incarcerated. This was not formalized, but it was a relationship what was more than just a subjective expectation of privacy. Contrary to the government’s argument, it was not precipitous, like the cases where the defendant gave drugs to somebody to store just before the police arrived. Accordingly, the court will get to the merits of the search claim, and the government is ordered to respond. United States v. Eldridge, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 81442 (W.D. N.Y. June 12, 2012).*

Defendant’s IAC claim against defense counsel for not filing a motion to suppress is denied because the guilty plea expressly waived it. United States v. Ortiz, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 81137 (S.D. Tex. June 12, 2012).*

Defendant was stopped for alleged DUI, and made to go through a field sobriety test. She was tested for alcohol and drugs. A jury question remained on whether the officer just made it up to justify the stop. Green v. Throckmorton, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 11930, 2012 FED App. 0175P (6th Cir. June 13, 2012).*

W.D.Ky.: Example of defense failure to show guest standing

FourthAmendment.com - News - Tue, 2025-04-22 07:18

Guest standing here is speculative without a better showing by the defense. United States v. Wix, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 81871 (W.D. Ky. June 13, 2012)*:

Too many questions exist to accurately measure Defendants' legitimate expectation of privacy in the mobile home. How often did Defendants spend the night in the mobile home and on the Property? The Court cannot possibly measure with any accuracy the subjective statement of Dozier that Wix and she stayed there "a lot." When was the last time Dozier and Wix were guests in the mobile home? Dozier admitted during her testimony that she did not spend the previous night in the trailer and the Court does not have additional information on the subject. Did Defendants have permission to stay there from the owner, Clifford Wix? It may be safe to assume so, but no direct evidence on this point was presented during either hearing. Were there any personal belongings of Defendants in the mobile home? Dozier did not offer any proof on this matter and Wix's silence is impossible to measure. Were Defendants providing Clifford Wix some sort of compensation to stay in the mobile home? Again, there is a deficiency in the record on this issue. Did Defendants have a key to mobile home and could they come and go without first obtaining permission from Clifford Wix? No relevant information was offered in this regard. The only verifiable information about which the Court can be sure is Defendants did not own the mobile home and they did not stay there the night before the police raided the Property. 1 HR, DN 41 p. 9-10.
