Five packages from Puerto Rico arrived at defendant\u2019s apartment building for fictitious tenants in 303 and 404. After they were left in the alcove, defendant was seen to remove them to his apartment, 901. The sixth package had a positive dog alert. An anticipatory warrant was sought for 901 where it was expected to be moved, and it was based on probable cause. The scope of search included a safe in the apartment. United States v. Marsden, 2026 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 217 (D. Mass. Jan. 3, 2026).*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officers were looking for defendant, and they saw him. He took off running. He had a red and black backpack. The officer lost him in the brush cover. A little later they found him without the backpack. It was objectively reasonable to believe it had been abandoned when it was found. United States v. Hatfield, 2026 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 25 (E.D. Ky. Jan. 2, 2026).*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2254 petitioner\u2019s search and seizure claim was decided on adequate and independent state grounds below with default, and Stone would apply in any event. Rivera v. Kopp, 2026 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 170 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 2, 2026).*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
