U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided June 1, 1971 · Duniway, Carter, Hufstedler
443 F.2d 403; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 9912 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Gregorio Nunez-Martinez

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellant and another rode in a ear from Mexico into the United States, at high speed, crossing the border at a point where there was no port of entry. They were seen by a border patrol, chased and ultimately caught several miles inside the border. A search revealed marijuana and amphetamine and seconal capsules in large quantities. On appeal, appellant attacks the search as not based on probable cause. This was a border search, and probable cause was not necessary. Witt v. United States, 9 Cir., 1961, 287 F.2d 389, 391.

Affirmed.

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
