   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1002
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The Fourth Amendment does not extend to 
   private searches that are neither instigated nor performed on behalf of a 
   government agency, and, here, the agents examining the phone went no 
   further than the private search when they examined the phone; as as 
   result, they could use the images and videos to obtain a warrant; as to 
   the remainder of the materials found on the phone, the state investigators 
   reasonably believed the state warrant authorized the search of defendant's 
   phone.
