App. 5DCA 2008):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Authority cannot be inferred merely from ownership of the house when the searching officer knows the suitcase belongs to the defendant. <em>Salinas-Cano<\/em>, 959 F.2d at 865-66. When a third party informs the officer that a closed container belongs to another person, it is not objectively reasonable for the officer, without making further inquiry, to search the container. We conclude that Dorsey&#8217;s comment to the officers that the duffle bag belonged to Evans put them on notice to make further inquiry sufficient to establish that she had both common control over the property and mutual use of it.
