Garcia-Lavin v. Florida Department of Professional Regulation
Garcia-Lavin v. Florida Department of Professional Regulation
Opinion of the Court
Marta Garcia-Lavin, M.D., appeals a final order of the Florida Department of Professional Regulation which suspended her license to practice medicine. As to Garcia-Lavin’s contention that her fourth amendment rights were violated, we conclude that under the standards set forth in United States v. Salvucci, 448 U.S. 83, 92, 100 S.Ct. 2547, 2553, 65 L.Ed.2d 619, 628 (1980); Rakas v. Illinois, 439 U.S. 128, 99 S.Ct. 421, 58 L.Ed.2d 387 (1978); and United States v. Haydel, 649 F.2d 1152, 1154-55 (5th Cir.), modified, 664 F.2d 84 (5th Cir. Unit A 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 1022, 102 S.Ct. 1721, 72 L.Ed.2d 140 (1982); see also Dean v. State, 478 So.2d 38, 41 (Fla. 1985), Garcia-Lavin is without standing to challenge the seizure of the pre-signed prescription forms she had left in the custody of (and on the premises of) her former employer, where those forms were seized
