United States v. Krupa, No. 09-10396 (9th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed from his conditional guilty plea to receiving material involving the sexual exploitation of minors in violation of 18 U.S.C. 2252(a)(2). Defendant challenged the district court's denial of his motion to suppress evidence seized from computers in his custody. The court held that, giving the appropriate deference to the appointed Primary Search Authority Military Magistrate's determination as required by Illinois v. Gates and the court's own precedent, there was probable cause to support the issuance of the warrant. Alternatively, even if the court were to determine that there was no probable cause for the warrant, the court would affirm the district court's determination that the warrant fit within the good-faith exception set forth in United States v. Leon. Accordingly, the district court's denial of defendant's motion to suppress was affirmed.
