S.D.Ill.: PC for the vehicle search mooted the scope of consent issue

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

Defendant argued that his consent did not permit the officer to remove the door and rocker panel. The officer had probable cause, so the scope of consent issue is moot. United States v. Calvo-Saucedo, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 35222 (S.D. Ill. April 9, 2010).* Defendant’s 2255 fails because his allegations against counsel were conclusory and belied by the record. There was one search, not three, and it was litigated in the suppression hearing. United States v. Torres, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 35330 (S.D. Tex. April 9, 2010).* When the statute of limitations started to run in this case is problematic, but moot because it ran no matter which view applies. Kuan v. United States Customs Serv., 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 126574 (C.D. Cal. December 16, 2009)...continue to full post
