Tremayne Antwane Mitchell v. United States
FourthAmendment CriminalProcedure Privacy
Whether the police officers unlawfully searched the petitioner's apartment by trespassing on the curtilage and sniffing the window and doorframe
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether the Court of Appeals erred in overruling the District Court’s decision to suppress evidence obtained by police officers when they sniffed the windowsill and doorframe of Petitioner’s apartment. Whether the Court of Appeals erred in ruling that the District Court’s decision to address the “good faith” issue after finding a 4'" Amendment violation occurred, pursuant to United States v. Leon, was actually a sue sponte “Franks” hearing and was therefore an “abrogation of the procedures announced in Fi ranks,” and was therefore improper. i
