A fire department can compel production of fingerprints for timekeeping purposes from its firefighters under threat of termination. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in fingerprints. Perre v. E. Bank Consol. Special Serv. Fire Prot., 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 128851 (E.D. La. July 22, 2024).

Defendant filed a letter with the court after pleading guilty but before sentencing raising issues clearly waived by the plea, one of which was that the search warrant he was told was used doesn\u2019t exist. He gets an obstruction of justice enhancement under USSG \u00a7 3C1.1 for whole of the letter. United States v. Belmar, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 127330 (S.D.N.Y. July 16, 2024).*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in the common area of an apartment complex. Defendant was seen lurking there and dropped something the officers suspected was a gun. He picked it up and ducked into an apartment where, ostensibly, the owner didn\u2019t know his name but mouthed something to her which she repeated. He also smelled of marijuana. He was detained for nine minutes and the officers wanted a patdown before letting him go. They had to pull him up and a gun fell out of his waistband. He was a felon in possession, and the detention was not unreasonable. United States v. Young, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 17801 (11th Cir.
