How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that consent, for purposes of Article I, section 9, must be given by a “person with the actual authority to do so”
  • concluding that there was “no evidence that defendant knew that [defendant’s girlfriend] was getting into his nightstand, much less that he explicitly authorized or even implicitly acquiesced in that conduct” (emphasis added)
  • finding that occasional access to the nightstand without the defendant’s knowledge is insufficient to show actual authority
  • third party lacked actual authority to consent to the search of the defendant's nightstand, despite her ability to open and occasionally access the nightstand's unlocked drawer, in the absence of any evidence of permission or acquiescence by the defendant
