United States Ninth Circuit

Affirmed the denial of a defendant's motion to suppress evidence found during a search of his girlfriend's residence. The defendant, who was charged with bank robbery, challenged the search of his girlfriend's home on Fourth Amendment grounds. Rejecting his argument, the Ninth Circuit held that he lacked a legitimate expectation of privacy in a place the law prevented him from entering, given that a no-contact court order prohibited him from contacting her. The panel thus held that his suppression motion was properly denied.
