U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-2257
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Melloy and Beam, Circuit
Judges]
Criminal Case - suppression. District court's findings supporting that
statements made to immigration officer after defendant was released from
detention were consensual were not clearly erroneous and Fourth
Amendment was not implicated by consensual encounter. Police were not
required to give Miranda warning and thus district court properly denied
motion to suppress. Statements and fingerprints are untainted evidence of
identity which the government may use.
