vacating and remanding standing determination because record was “barren of the facts” necessary to determine whether standing existed
conspirator had no legitimate expectation of privacy in the house of another co-conspirator
“Clearly, however, petitioner’s failure to make any such assertion [of a possessory or proprietary claim to the searched premises] ... may well be explained by the related failure of the Government to make any challenge ... to petitioner’s standing to raise his Fourth Amendment claim.”
“In any event, the record now before us is virtually barren of the facts necessary to determine whether petitioner had an interest in connection with the searched premises that gave rise to ‘a reasonable expectation [on his part] of freedom from governmental intrusion’ upon those premises.”
