California Court of Appeal

Trial court's conviction of defendant for kidnapping to extort a ransom is affirmed as the trial court did not err in denying defendant's suppression motion as circumstances preclude any reasonable expectation of privacy in any markings displayed on the outside of an envelope, such as those identifying AT&T Wireless as the addressor.
