United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Troy Lee Price, Defendant-appellant, 19 F.3d 1442 (9th Cir. 1994)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 19 F.3d 1442 (9th Cir. 1994) Argued and Submitted March 11, 1994. Decided March 17, 1994

Before: BROWNING, KOZINSKI, and NOONAN, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM* 

Upon independent review of the facts, see United States v. Kendall, 655 F.2d 199, 203 (9th Cir. 1981), we hold the district court did not clearly err in finding Price abandoned his luggage. Compare United States v. Mulder, 808 F.2d 1346, 1348 (9th Cir. 1987) (no clear error in finding luggage was not abandoned when left in a room for which defendant paid and where defendant left without knowledge of police inquiry). Because a person who abandons property lacks standing to challenge its search, United States v. Huffhines, 967 F.2d 314, 318 (9th Cir. 1992), the denial of Price's suppression motion is

AFFIRMED.
