IN: No standing to challenge arrest of another person

Defendant had no standing to contest the arrest of another person that led to his arrest under either the Fourth Amendment or the state constitution. Zuniga v. State, 2024 Ind. App. LEXIS 196 (July 8, 2024).

“Next, Windham says that he asked his trial counsel to file a Fourth Amendment suppression motion, but his trial counsel did not do so. To succeed on this argument, Windham needed to ‘prove that his Fourth Amendment claim is meritorious and that there is a reasonable probability that [plea decision] would have been different.’ Windham has not identified any alleged Fourth Amendment violation, so Windham has not met his burden.” United States v. Windham, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 119596 (N.D. Ohio July 9, 2024).

There was no Fourth Amendment violation here, let alone an egregious one. Hernandez-Quintero v. Garland, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 16669 (9th Cir. July 9, 2024).*
