CA3: Sexual advances in a gov’tal workplace are not a Fourth Amendment search or seizure

“While Fourth Amendment protections may extend to ‘[s]earches and seizures by government employers or supervisors,’ O’Connor v. Ortega, 480 U.S. 709, 715, 107 S. Ct. 1492, 94 L. Ed. 2d 714 (1987), we agree with the District Court that the Fourth Amendment does not provide a cause of action for unwanted sexual advances in the workplace, and Goodall-Gaillard points to no caselaw and offers no cogent argument supporting such a claim.” Goodall-Gaillard v. N.J. Dep’t of Corr., 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 14887 (3d Cir. August 24, 2015).

A Mirandized defendant produced a key to a storage unit and consented to its search. United States v. Zuhrieh, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 113324 (D.N.M. July 21, 2015).*
