E.D.La.: A power co. had standing to challenge overbroad subpoenas at a gov’t audit

A power company stated an injury-in-fact for standing to contest the agency’s action on, inter alia, Fourth Amendment grounds that its request for production of records in an audit constituted a likely Fourth Amendment violation for an overbroad or oppressive subpoena. Entergy Servs. v. United States Dep’t of Labor, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 183517 (E.D. La. December 15, 2014).

The CI said that defendant and family were selling marijuana out of the house. “The informant’s 100 percent ‘track record’ [in seven prior cases] provided a strong indicia of his or her reliability.” There was probable cause for the search warrant for the house. Bellville v. State, 2015 Tex. App. LEXIS ___ (Tex. App. – El Paso April 15, 2015).*
