United States Eleventh Circuit

In motion to suppress evidence obtained in an unconstitutional search and seizure pursuant to a criminal prosecution for illegally reentering the country after deportation, partial denial of criminal-defendant's motion to suppress evidence is affirmed where: 1) under the cost-benefit balancing test used by the Supreme Court in Hudson v. Michigan, identity-related evidence is not suppressible when offered in a criminal prosecution only to prove who the defendant is; and 2) the fingerprints, photographs, and alien file of defendant were not suppressible in this case.
