• noting that a search occurs when the government “physically intrudes onto a constitutionally protected area” or “intrudes upon a person’s reasonable expectation of privacy”
• hallway directly outside apartment door is not “curtilage” because tenant’s right to exclude others from own apartment does not “extend to the common areas of the building”
• “The first [Dunn] factor suggests that the hallway immediately adjacent to Edstrom’s apartment door could be part of the curtilage of the apartment. This area is physically very close to his home—it is immediately adjacent.”
