Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that “technical inaccuracies in a warrant do not automatically render unconstitutional searches conducted pursuant to such a warrant”
• reversing summary judgment because there were genuine issues of material fact regarding whether officers were within curtilage
• affirming grant of summary judgment for defendant county commissioners where commissioners did not participate in allegedly unconstitutional conduct
• describing that event occurring at 618 Burns Street
