   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-1690
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with McMillian and Gruender, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - criminal law. Under Arkansas law, the lack of proclamation calling up the National Guard did not make the Guard's involvement in counterdrug surveillance unlawful, particularly when the governor has specifically certified that the counterdrug plan complies with state law; aerial surveillance had not occurred within the curtilage of defendant's property and was not unlawful; in any event, so long as the aerial surveillance took place in an area where the public could lawfully fly and at an altitude generally used by the public, defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy, and the overflight did not violate the Fourth Amendment.
