CA6: Pleading false information used to get SW overcame QI at this stage

Pleading that defendants used false information to get a search warrant for them. That was enough to get around qualified immunity, and the district court erred in dismissing at this stage. Marvaso v. Sanchez, 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 26723 (6th Cir. Aug. 21, 2020).*

Inevitable discovery shown by the government: “Here, the district court found that the officers could reasonably believe that third persons may have posed a danger to the arresting officers or themselves based on numerous articulable facts including evidence that Quinn was a member of a violent drug ring, the presence of a security camera on his home, the delay in Quinn coming to the front door, evidence that’s Quinn’s children and their mother came to his home every morning, the presence of toys in the front yard, and the unexpected presence of Quinn’s mother. Having in mind this combination of factors, we cannot say that the district court erred. Similarly, Quinn’s inevitable discovery argument fails for the reasons articulated by the district court.” United States v. Booker, 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 26735 (2d Cir. Aug. 21, 2020).*
