073732P.pdf 11/24/2008 United States v. Javarlo Perry
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-3732
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with John R. Gibson and Smith, Circuit
Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Defendant failed to show
that he had an objectively reasonable expectation of privacy inside the
VFW hall where he was arrested, as he failed to show that the hall had a
policy limiting admission, that he was entitled to be present under that
policy, and that the policy was strictly and consistently enforced; as a
result, he had no standing to challenge the search of the hall, and the
district court did not err in denying his motion to suppress; district court
did not violate the provisions of 28 U.S.C. Sec. 636(b)(1)(B) when it
referred defendant's motion to suppress to a magistrate judge for the
preparation of a report and recommendation; fact that firearm was
transported across state lines is sufficient to satisfy the requirements of 18
U.S.C. Sec. 922(g); district court may make findings of facts at
sentencing under a preponderance of evidence standard so long as it treats
the Guidelines as advisory.
