U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-3807
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Benton, Circuit Judge, and Gerrard,
District Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant, a parolee residing at a halfway
house, did not have any legitimate expectation of privacy in his cell
phone as he was aware that the halfway house's rules prohibited possession
of a cellphone inside the residence and that any property possessed inside
the residence was subject to search; the search was justified by the
government's substantial interest in preventing recidivism and
facilitating an offender's successful reentry into the community.
