CA8: “Reasonable grounds” in defendant’s probation search agreement means reasonable suspicion

“Reasonable grounds” in defendant’s probation search agreement means reasonable suspicion. United States v. Gaston, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 18600 (8th Cir. July 29, 2024).

The company here orally consented to an administrative search for a workplace violation. While the notice wasn’t delivered in writing, it was orally explained, and that satisfied the purpose of the statute. Kingsbury Cos., LLC v. Commisioner of Labor, 2024 VT 42, 2024 Vt. LEXIS 47 (July 26, 2024).*

Defendant’s ineffective assistance of counsel claim for not properly cross-examining the searching officer about smelling pot doesn’t show prejudice because he never alleges that the witness was wrong or lying. United States v. Moody, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 132199 (E.D. Va. July 25, 2024).*
