Arthur R. Decatur v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided March 14, 1968 · Chambers, Ely, Foley
392 F.2d 29; 1968 U.S. App. LEXIS 7712 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Arthur R. Decatur v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

Appellant mainly relies on a claim of illegal search and seizure. It is possible that there was an exploratory search too broad to be properly incident to De-Catur’s arrest. But it would appear that all of the tangible real objects offered in evidence were seized from points immediately adjacent to the spot where De-Catur was arrested. If some item crept into evidence that was illegally seized, no record was made in the trial court and we are not told what it was.
