Whether the Fourth Amendment was violated when officers executed a search warrant that authorized the search of a different residence in a different town and county

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Approximately 18 law-enforcement officers raided Samer Abdalla’s home with what purported to be a search warrant. On the first page of the document was a statement that probable cause existed to search Mr. Abdalla’s home, with an accurate description of that residence. However, on the third and final page, the document expressly authorized search of a different residence—an actual home on a different street, in a different town, and in a different county. The questions presented are: 1. Under the Fourth Amendment, did officers have a “warrant” to search Mr. Abdalla’s residence when the document purporting to authorize search in fact authorized search of an entirely different residence in a different town and different county? 2. Under the Fourth Amendment, if the document in question wasa warrant, did the inclusion of the incorrect address in the authority-to-search section deprive the warrant of probable cause, particularity, or the authorization of a neutral and detached magistrate? ii
