United States v. Andres Fernando Moran Vargas

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that a defendant who allowed officers to enter his motel room for a conversation had not consented to a search of his motel bathroom
• finding lack of consent when “Moran quickly shut the bathroom door, telling the agents that they could not use his bathroom”
• “[N]one of the agents testified to hearing any noises coming from the bathroom or to seeing any evidence that might have indicated that another person was present.”
• general suspicion, “without more,” that other, armed individuals might be in hotel room insufficient to justify protective sweep
• “Not only was there no objective basis to warrant a reasonable suspicion of danger from a second person, there was also no evidence of subjective fear on the part of the agents.”
