D.Neb., M.D.Fla., C.D.Cal. also sustain an NIT search warrant for IP addresses

Another NIT warrant upheld in a child pornography case. United States v. Laurita, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 103405 (D.Neb. Aug. 5, 2016)* (collecting cases):

The record shows the NIT warrant was issued by a U.S. Magistrate Judge within the District of Nebraska—the location of the website on which the NIT was deployed, the location into which District the users of the website communicated, and the location in which the NIT results were collected. The information obtained via the NIT—an IP address—is the same sort of information obtained in a pen register. The court finds the magistrate judge complied with Fed. R. Crim. P. 41 in issuing the warrant and his actions did not contravene 28 U.S.C. § 636 because he exercised authority that was conferred or imposed by the Federal Rules.

Also: United States v. Adams, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 105471 (M.D.Fla. Aug. 10, 2016), United States v. Acevedo-Lemus, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 105195 (C.D.Cal. Aug. 8, 2016).
