CA5: When both PC and GFE are appealed, both have to be argued on appeal or both are waived

When probable cause and the good faith exception are both decided by the district court, both must be argued on appeal or the whole issue of the validity of the warrant is waived for appeal. “We note initially that Huerta has not addressed the district court’s alternative ruling that even if probable cause had been insufficient, the evidence should not be suppressed because law enforcement acted in good faith reliance on the search warrant. Accordingly, Huerta has abandoned this issue on appeal. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993).” Not arguing both leaves one as an independent basis, and that makes the issue moot. United States v. Huerta, 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 13624 (5th Cir. May 7, 2019).
