United States v. Odoni
| Case Date: | 01/13/2015 |
| Citation: | United States v. Odoni, 782 F.3d 1226 (11th Cir. 2015) |
| Court Type: | Federal Circuit Court |
| Court: | 11th Circuit Court of Appeals (11th Cir.) |
| Judge: | Circuit Judge: Susan H. Black |
| Rule(s): | 4th Amendment |
| Issues: | Whether Defendant Gunter had a reasonable expectation of privacy in electronic data files seized by British authorities, and whether the search and seizure violated his Fourth Amendment rights. |
| Resolution: | The Court held that Defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights were not violated, and affirmed the denial of Defendant Gunter’s motion to suppress. Because the electronic evidence was seized by a foreign government and then analyzed by foreign government officials prior to being searched by the United States, Defendant Gunter had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the data. |
