United States v. Henderson
9th Circuit Court of Appeals; Case No. 17-10230
Prior Decision
Panel decision 906 F. 3d 1109 (9th Cir. Oct. 23, 2018)
Argument(s)
The petition presents a constitutional issue of exceptional importance because the panel decision excuses “systemic negligence” in the digital age. Rehearing is warranted to ensure that extra-jurisdictional warrants comply with the laws where evidence is search or seized. Rehearing is warranted to clarify that the good-faith exception does not apply to warrants void for lack of jurisdiction where the agency obtaining the warrant was or should have been aware of the defect.
