United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant's attempted drug possession conviction is affirmed where the District Court properly denied Defendant's motion to suppress because: 1) a postal inspector's visual inspection of a package sent to Defendant did not violate the Fourth Amendment; and 2) Defendant had no possessory interest in the package until its guaranteed delivery time had passed.
