Mississippi, Ex Rel. Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics v. Canada
Annotate this CaseAppellant Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics (“the State”) had a search warrant signed and executed at the home of Bobby Ray Canada and Beverly Turman. Section one of the warrant, where the location for the search to be executed, was left completely blank. The State collected, among other things, $293,720 from the home, and the State then filed a civil forfeiture action. Canada and Turman filed a summary judgment motion, arguing that the search warrant was blank and void, and therefore, the search violated their Fourth Amendment Rights. The trial judge granted the summary judgment motion. The State appealed. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed.
