CA6: One controlled buy from a house is PC for SW

One controlled buy is probable cause for a search warrant of a house. Regular drug trafficking from there not required. United States v. Roberts, 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 30737 (6th Cir. Oct. 12, 2021).

Mere disagreement with the state court’s resolution of a search and seizure claim isn’t cognizable in habeas. “Ward fails to demonstrate he was not granted an opportunity to fully and fairly litigate his Fourth Amendment claim, or that the trial court’s ruling on his Fourth Amendment claim was contrary to established Supreme Court precedent.” CoA denied. Ward v. Pruitt, 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 30658 (10th Cir. Oct. 14, 2021).*

“The Government has moved for summary affirmance or, alternatively, for an extension of time to file a brief on the merits. This court has held that even if there was a Fourth Amendment violation, evidence of an alien’s identity is not suppressible. … Thus, Lara-Hidalgo’s argument is in fact foreclosed. … [¶] Accordingly, summary affirmance is appropriate.” United States v. Lara-Hidalgo, 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 30672 (5th Cir. Oct. 14, 2021).*

In a traffic stop, the officer developed reasonable suspicion for inquiring into OWI. State v. Taylor, 2021 Minn. LEXIS 558 (Oct. 13, 2021).*
