UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. TYRONE GILBERT

Posted by: Karen Belcher on Mar 11, 2020

Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Christian J. Grostic, FEDERAL PUBLIC DEFENDER, Cleveland, Ohio, for Appellant.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Daniel R. Ranke, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Cleveland, Ohio, for Appellee.

Judge(s): GRIFFIN, WHITE, and NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio at Cleveland

GRIFFIN, Circuit Judge. Defendant Tyrone Gilbert seeks to suppress the fruits of a search—namely four kilograms of narcotics, more than $100,000 in cash, a firearm, and other indicia of drug trafficking—because the search warrant that authorized the search of his home purportedly lacked probable cause in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Because a reasonably well-trained officer in the circumstances presented here would not know to disregard a judicial determination that probable cause existed, the good-faith exception applies. We therefore affirm the district court’s judgment.
