Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW In Carpenter v. United States, 138 S. Ct. 2206 (2018), this Court held that the government conducts a search under the Fourth Amendment when it accesses historical cell-site location records that provide a comprehensive chronicle of the user’s past movements. Here, the government accessed, without a warrant, historical records for a mobile application on Mr. Solove’s cell phone. The records, which spanned a month, detailed all the internet protocol (“IP”) addresses that the app had connected to during that time. Like the cell phone records in Carpenter, the historical IP addresses provided a comprehensive chronicle of Mr. Solove’s movements during that month. Question Presented: Whether the government conducts a search under the Fourth Amendment when it accesses historical IP address records for a mobile app that provide a comprehensive chronicle of the user’s past movement? i INTERESTED PARTIES There are no
