United States Second Circuit

In a federal prosecution of a parolee for being a previously convicted felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, the district court's grant of a motion to suppress evidence is reversed and the case is remanded, where the parole officer's search that produced the evidence was proper under the "special needs" exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement.
