United States Ninth Circuit

In a prosecution for conspiracy to commit extortion and transmitting a threatening communication with intent to extort, an order suppressing certain email communications between defendants is reversed where the government had probable cause to search one defendant's computer, the warrant satisfied the test for specificity, and the seized e-mail communications fell within the scope of the properly issued warrant.
