United States Ninth Circuit

The district court properly determined, following remand, the precise nature of San Bernardino County District Attorney Ramos's delegation of authority in his absence to Assistant District Attorney Christy, who, as designee of Ramos, applied for and obtained a state wiretap, where the record developed by the district court on remand leaves no doubt that in Ramos’s absence, Christy was "running the office," thus satisfying the concern that the delegation might have been only for wiretap applications.
