How courts have described this case

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

• upholding consent following assumed illegal entry because, inter alia, consent was voluntary and free
• affirming finding of voluntariness where officers made no threats, defendant remained calm, never refused consent, received Miranda warnings, was informed that he did not have to consent, and indicated that he understood rights
• affirming finding of voluntari- ness where officers made no threats, defendant remained calm, never refused consent, received Miranda warnings, was informed that he did not have to consent, and indicated that he understood rights
• assuming arguendo that district court may have “technically erred” in barring extrinsic evidence of witness’s prior inconsistent statement on ground that witness had not been asked about the statement first, but finding any error harmless
• “It takes no great leap of logic to infer that Valencia would want to protect that money, and that the handguns in his home helped to serve that purpose.”
• state officers' arrest of suspect based on DEA agent's probable cause suffices for Fourth Amendment inquiry
