CA7: Without a triggering condition, this was not an anticipatory warrant

Despite defendant’s argument, this was not an anticipatory search warrant. There was no triggering condition, and it was issued with probable cause. United States v. Calligan, 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 23402 (7th Cir. Aug. 6, 2021).

There clearly was reasonable suspicion for defendant’s stop, so the officer gets qualified immunity. Beitch v. Magnus, 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 23443 (9th Cir. Aug. 6, 2021).*

Defendant’s comings and goings from a storage unit chronicled by the computer-stored access records helped show nexus. United States v. Thomas, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 146911 (D.Minn. Aug. 5, 2021).*

Defendant’s drug activity at his house was sufficiently ongoing for over six months to justify the search warrant when it was finally sought. “Further, the three-month gap between March 13, 2020, and the issuance of the search warrant on June 16, 2020, is well within the range of delay that courts have found acceptable in the context of ongoing narcotics conspiracies.” United States v. Ortiz, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 147468 (W.D.N.Y. Aug. 6, 2021).*
