Defendant lacked standing to challenge a search of a package, so his counsel could not be ineffective for not having challenged a search of the package. As to a search of his residence, any Franks<\/em> challenge would have failed. United States v. Hernandez, 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 63046 (D. Haw. August 24, 2007):<\/p>\n

“Both the sender and the addressee have privacy interests in mailed packages.” United States v. Sheldon<\/em>, 351 F. Supp. 2d 1040, 1043 (D. Haw. 2004) (citing United States v. Hernandez<\/em>, 313 F.3d 1206, 1209 (9th Cir. 2002)). “Generally, a third party who is neither the sender nor the addressee of a mailed package does not share this privacy interest.” Id<\/em>. (citing United States v. Pierce<\/em>, 959 F.2d 1297, 1303 (5th Cir. 1992) (“Arguably, a defendant who is neither the sender nor the addressee of a package has no privacy interest in it, and, accordingly, no standing to assert Fourth Amendment objections to its search.”); United States v. Koenig<\/em>, 856 F.32d 843, 846 (7th Cir. 1988); United States v. Givens<\/em>, 733 F.2d 339, 341-42 (4th Cir. 1984)). However, a defendant who is neither the sender nor addressee of a mailed package, but claims an ownership interest in the package, exercises control over the package, and takes measures to reinforce his or her privacy interest in the package may have a legitimate expectation in that package. See Sheldon<\/em>, 351 F. Supp. 2d at 1044 (“Sheldon demonstrates that she owned the Airborne Express parcel and exercised control over it upon delivery. She also took measures to reinforce her privacy interest after taking delivery of the parcel.”).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
