United States v. Jimenez-Valenia, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 37911 (D. Utah May 1, 2009):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[T]he Tenth Circuit would prefer courts &#8220;&#8216;not use the term &#8216;standing&#8217; as shorthand for a defendant&#8217;s capacity to challenge a search,'&#8221; the court does so here for clarity. United States v. Smith, 531 F.3d 1261, 1266 n. 2 (10th Cir. 2008) (quoting United States v. Higgins, 282 F.3d 1261, 1270 n.3 (10th Cir. 2002)). This is the term used by the United States, Mr. Jimenez-Valencia and a great deal of the relevant case law. E.g., United States v.

Defendant\u2019s pat search on booking was reasonable.  She had no reasonable expectation of privacy that the police would not fly over her property and photograph it. United States v.
