United States v. Scott

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Barry A. Scott appeals from the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress evidence of child pornography found during a border search in which officials searched Scott’s laptop computer and compact discs. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Scott contends that the district court violated his rights under the First and Fourth Amendments of the United States Constitution by concluding that the border search of his laptop and private discs did not require reasonable suspicion. This contention is foreclosed. See United States v. Arnold, 533 F.3d 1003, 1008, 1010 (9th Cir. 2008). Scott’s contention that the search occurred in a “particularly offensive” manner also fails. See id. at 1009-10.

We decline Scott’s request to reconsider Arnold. See Hart v. Massanari, 266 F.3d 1155, 1171 (9th Cir. 2001).

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
