Question Presented (from Petition)

If when executing a search warrant of a single-family residence, officers discover multiple occupants with their own private rooms, are officers required to limit the search to common areas and areas within the control of the target in order to protect against an overbroad search of third persons' rooms not intended to be included within the search warrant?
