Adam "MCA" Yauch's death leaves a Beastie-size hole in pop music. Though the trio were not the most prolific legends on the landscape (over the course of 25 years, they released only seven proper albums), their impact has been gigantic. Starting with 1986?s "Licensed to Ill," the Beastie Boys rewrote the rules for commercial hip-hop, the mainstreaming of hardcore punk, the state of sampling, and the treatment of the old school.

The district court erred in granting the motion to suppress a protective sweep. When officers arrived at a disturbance call, they heard defendant threaten a woman, and the gun he allegedly had was unaccounted for with another person inside. United States v. Laudermilt, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 9072 (4th Cir. May 3, 2012)*:

Applying this framework, we believe the district court erred in granting the suppression motion. We begin by noting our agreement with the district court that the protective sweep was justified by Buie. The officers were responding to a potentially volatile situation involving a firearm and a domestic dispute, and they personally witnessed Laudermilt threatening Kuri and her family. When the officers arrested Laudermilt, the firearm was unaccounted for and—even by Laudermilt's own admission—at least one other person was in the home. In addition, as the officers were arriving on the scene, two individuals were leaving in a vehicle, one of whom was "slouched" over in his seat. Clearly, these articulable facts would have led a reasonably prudent officer to believe a protective sweep was warranted.

Nexus to this apartment was shown by defendant’s mail being received there and his admitting that his immigration documents were there. When defendant was confronted with a piece of mail, his demeanor changed and he refused to cooperate about going to apartment to get his immigration documents. A search warrant was obtained for the apartment. United States v. Abdul-Ganiu, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 9085 (3d Cir. May 3, 2012).*
