United States v. Gonzalo Uscanga-Ramirez

How courts have described this case

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

• finding Randolph distinguishable where the defendant’s wife consented to a search of the home–a premises over which the defendant and his wife possessed common authority–and where there was no evidence the defendant “expressly refused the officers’ entry into the home”
• “Consent to search is a valid exception to the warrant requirement if the consent is knowingly and voluntarily given.”
• after entering, exigent circumstances justified the officer’s limited search under a pillow for the gun, because “[t]he pillow was within [the man]’s reach ... and [the officer] reasonably perceived a risk of danger to everyone in the room”
