Franks Hearing: Negligent Police Affidavit Not Enough For Suppression. Police Affidavit Must Be Reckless and Deceitful.
USA v. Larry D. Billian, No. 09-3385.
Larry Billian pleaded guilty to two marijuana offenses and to possessing a firearm in connection with those crimes. His conditional plea reserved the right to appeal from the district court's order denying his motion to suppress evidence seized from his home.
The seizure was authorized by a war-rant issued by a state judge. Billian contended that the affidavit Detective Teresa Smith had tendered in support of the application failed to establish probable cause and contained material falsehoods and omissions. The district court held a hearing under Franks v. Delaware, 438 U.S. 154 (1978), and found that, although Smith's affidavit was inaccurate in some respects, Billian "failed to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that the affidavit contained deliberate lies or a reckless disregard for the truth."
The judge concluded that the affidavit established probable cause-and that, even if it did not, suppression is inappropriate because Smith obtained a warrant in good faith. See United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897 (1984).
"[A]fter-the-fact scrutiny by courts of the sufficiency of an affidavit should not take the form of de novo review. A magistrate's determination of probable cause should be paid great deference by reviewing courts". Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 236 (1983). Billian wants us to decide the probable-cause question without regard to the fact that both a state judge and a federal district judge have found probable cause.
Appellate review, however, is deferential. After a federal district judge holds an evidentiary hearing and finds probable cause for the search, it would be almost inconceivable for a court of appeals to find probable cause so obviously lacking that the evidence must be suppressed. How could one say, as Leon requires for suppression, that any reasonable police officer must have known that the search warrant was deficient, when after an evidentiary hearing and ample time for reflection a federal judge found the warrant valid?
Billian's answer to this question is that Smith pulled the wool over the state judge's eyes. A warrant that rests on perjury, or false assertions made with reckless disregard of the truth, is not covered by the Leon principle. 468 U.S. at 923. One problem for this line of argument is that the federal judge concluded that the affidavit is sufficient even with some statements removed; Franks permits such a reconstruction. 438 U.S. at 171–72. Another problem is that the district judge found that Smith was neither deceitful nor reckless; errors in her affidavit were negligent, but negligence does not justify use of the exclusionary rule. See Herring v. United States, 129 S.Ct. 695 (2009).
The district judge's findings are not clearly erroneous.
According to Billian, the search warrant rests entirely on an uncorroborated tip. "Entirely" because, in Billian's view, something is wrong with each aspect of the way police set about checking the tipster's report. Billian complains that Smith violated departmental procedure by taking five months after receiving the tip to write an intra-office memo memorializing the report.
Billian also thinks that Smith withheld three pieces of information from the state judge: that she did not know who owned the white Cadillac seen in the driveway, that she did not see any suspicious activity when driving past his home, and that the tipster mentioned cocaine as well as marijuana, while the trash searches turned up only marijuana. Finally, Billian submits that the results of the trash searches should be ignored, first because the amounts of marijuana were small enough to represent personal use rather than distribution, and second because (according to Billian) the trash cans were next to his garage, rather than at the curb for pickup, when the police searched them, and this invasion of the home's curtilage was unreasonable.
The district judge thought this to be so much quibbling. The fourth amendment does not require police to follow their normal record-keeping procedures (or for that matter any state statute, see Virginia v. Moore, 553 U.S. 164 (2008). Billian's only substantial objection, as the district judge saw things, was the contention that officers violated the fourth amendment when searching his trash. If they did, then the contents of the trash cans could not count toward probable cause.
Although the district judge did not make a direct finding that the trash cans were at the curb when searched, he evidently believed Smith rather than Erin Billian about their location. Given the other support for the warrant, and the rule of Leon, there would be little point in a remand for explicit findings to that effect.
On to sentencing. No more need be said about the sentencing argument that Billian's counsel made, but a few words are in order about a potential argument that counsel overlooked. When converting the cash to a drug equivalent, the presentence report treated 1 pound as 2.2 kilograms. That's backward: 1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds. This error, which no one noticed, increased Billian's relevant conduct from 370 kilograms of marijuana to 490, and his offense level from 23 to 25.
One important element of plain-error review is whether the mistake had a substantial and prejudicial effect. See United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 734–35 (1993). It is hard to know whether this mistake was prejudicial, because it affects (or might affect) a discretionary decision by the district judge. In other sentencing cases we have concluded that the best way to find out is a limited remand, which permits the district judge to tell us whether discovery of the error would have led to a lower sentence. See United States v. Taylor, 520 F.3d 746 (7th Cir. 2008); United States v. Paladino, 401 F.3d 471, 481–85 (7th Cir. 2005). That is the best way to proceed here as well.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed. We order a limited remand under the Taylor–Paladino procedure so that the district judge can tell us whether the error in converting pounds to kilograms affected the exercise of discretion in sentencing. If the judge answers yes, we will remand for a full resentencing; if the judge answers no, we will affirm Billian's sentence.

Case: Luis Ernesto Gurmendi v. Perry Street Development Corp.
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals (1), as limited by his brief, from so much of a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Ruchelsman, J.), dated August 10, 2010, as, upon so much of an order of the same court dated October 20, 2009, as granted that branch of the motion of the defendant Pucuda, Inc., doing business as Leading Edge Safety Systems, which was for summary judgment dismissing the second amended complaint insofar as asserted against that defendant, is in favor of the defendant Pucuda, Inc., doing business as Leading Edge Safety Systems, and against him, in effect, dismissing the second amended complaint insofar as asserted against that defendant, and (2) from a judgment of the same court dated December 6, 2010, which, upon so much of an order of the same court dated July 15, 2010, as granted those branches of the motion of the defendant J Companies and the cross motion of the defendant Perry Street Development Corp. which were for summary judgment dismissing the second amended complaint insofar as asserted against each of those defendants, is in favor of the defendants J Companies and Perry Street Development Corp. and against him dismissing the second amended complaint insofar as asserted against those defendants.
ORDERED that one bill of costs is awarded to the plaintiff, payable by the defendants J Companies and Perry Street Development Corp., and one bill of costs is awarded to the defendant Pucuda, Inc., doing business as Leading Edge Safety Systems, payable by the plaintiff.
The defendant Perry Street Development Corp. (hereinafter Perry) was formed to oversee the condominium development of a building it owned (hereinafter the project), which was located at 166 Perry Street, Manhattan. Perry hired the defendant J Companies as the construction manager for the project. In the fall of 2005, after construction work was underway, a stop work order was issued due to the lack of fall protection/safety netting. Thereafter, Perry entered into an agreement with the defendant Pucuda, Inc., doing business as Leading Edge Safety Systems (hereinafter Pucuda), for the rental of perimeter safety netting.
The existing building at 166 Perry Street had a five‑foot parapet wall around the entire building. The safety netting was installed below the parapet wall, and it was intended to "catch loads" and "deflect." The installation of the safety netting was completed on or about October 14, 2005, by the third‑party defendant, Exterior Wall and Building Consultants, Inc. (hereinafter EWBC).
On the day of the accident, the plaintiff was working as a carpenter at a construction project located at 176 Perry Street, which was next to the site at 166 Perry Street, and was standing on the flatbed of a delivery truck, helping to unload a delivery of sheetrock, when bricks, stones, ice, and branches fell onto him. At his deposition, the plaintiff testified that as a result of being struck, he fell onto his right side, striking his right knee on the sheetrock. He further testified that the driver of the delivery truck urged the plaintiff to move out of the way of the falling debris, and extended his hand to help the plaintiff off the truck. Despite this effort, however, the plaintiff fell from the truck to the pavement below, and allegedly injured his left hand and right leg. The plaintiff testified that at that time, he saw that the items were falling from the protective netting at the project and that the center of the safety netting was split or broken. The plaintiff filed a second amended complaint in this personal injury action against, among others, Pucuda, Perry, and J Companies, and those defendants subsequently moved or cross‑moved, inter alia, for summary judgment dismissing the second amended complaint insofar as asserted against each of them.
The Supreme Court properly granted that branch of Pucuda's motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the second amended complaint insofar as asserted against it. Pucuda established its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by demonstrating that it did not owe a duty to the plaintiff since the plaintiff was not a party or intended third‑party beneficiary to the perimeter safety netting rental contract between Pucuda and the owner of the premises (see Stiver v. Good & Fair Carting & Moving, Inc., 9 N.Y.3d 253, 256, 257, 848 N.Y.S.2d 585, 878 N.E.2d 1001; Espinal v. Melville Snow Contrs., 98 N.Y.2d 136, 138, 746 N.Y.S.2d 120, 773 N.E.2d 485; Sainval-Brice v. All Seasons Indus. Servs., Inc., 85 A.D.3d 1004, 1004, 926 N.Y.S.2d 586; Foster v. Herbert Slepoy Corp., 76 A.D.3d 210, 905 N.Y.S.2d 226; Spitzer v. Tranese, 72 A.D.3d 674, 674-675, 898 N.Y.S.2d 618). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether Pucuda launched a force or instrument of harm, the plaintiff detrimentally relied on the continued performance of Pucuda's duties, or Pucuda entirely displaced the owner's duty to maintain the premises safely (see Espinal v. Melville Snow Contrs., 98 N.Y.2d at 138-140, 746 N.Y.S.2d 120, 773 N.E.2d 485; Sainval-Brice v. All Seasons Indus. Servs., Inc., 85 A.D.3d at 1005, 926 N.Y.S.2d 586; Spitzer v. Tranese, 72 A.D.3d at 675, 898 N.Y.S.2d 618).
However, the Supreme Court erred in granting those branches of the motion of J Companies and the cross motion of Perry which were for summary judgment dismissing the second amended complaint insofar as asserted against each of them on the grounds that, as a matter of law, there was a lack of constructive notice and the alleged dangerous condition was not a proximate cause of the plaintiff's alleged injuries (see Derdiarian v. Felix Contr. Corp., 51 N.Y.2d 308, 315, 434 N.Y.S.2d 166, 414 N.E.2d 666; Thompson v. Town of Brookhaven, 34 A.D.3d 448, 450, 825 N.Y.S.2d 83; Spathos v. Gramatan Mgt., 2 A.D.3d 833, 770 N.Y.S.2d 130). Since "the determination of legal causation turns upon questions of forseeability and 'what is ... normal may be the subject of varying inferences, as is the question of negligence itself, these issues generally are for the fact finder to resolve' " (Kriz v. Schum, 75 N.Y.2d 25, 34, 550 N.Y.S.2d 584, 549 N.E.2d 1155, quoting Derdiarian v. Felix Contr. Corp., 51 N.Y.2d at 315, 434 N.Y.S.2d 166, 414 N.E.2d 666). Here, the description of the accident provided by the plaintiff at his deposition was not an extraordinary sequence of events which would lead to the conclusion, as a matter of law, that the risk of injury was unforeseeable (see Derdiarian v. Felix Contr. Corp., 51 N.Y.2d at 315-316, 434 N.Y.S.2d 166, 414 N.E.2d 666; cf. Davidson v. Miele Sanitation Co. NY, Inc., 9 A.D.3d 346, 780 N.Y.S.2d 606). Thus, there remains a triable issue of fact as to whether it was foreseeable that materials falling from defective safety netting installed overhead would strike a person nearby and that this person could be injured while attempting to avoid such falling materials (see Mazzio v. Highland Homeowners Assn. & Condos, 63 A.D.3d 1015, 1016, 883 N.Y.S.2d 59; Humbach v. Goldstein, 255 A.D.2d 420, 421, 686 N.Y.S.2d 54; Cruz v. City of New York, 218 A.D.2d 546, 548-549, 630 N.Y.S.2d 523; cf. Cruz v. City of New York, 6 A.D.3d 644, 645, 775 N.Y.S.2d 549). Nor did the alleged negligence of these defendants merely furnish the condition or occasion for the injury‑producing occurrence (see Derdiarian v. Felix Contr. Corp., 51 N.Y.2d at 315-316, 434 N.Y.S.2d 166, 414 N.E.2d 666; cf. Lee v. New York City Hous. Auth., 25 A.D.3d 214, 215-216, 220, 803 N.Y.S.2d 538; Rodriguez v. Pro Cable Servs. Co. Ltd. Partnership, 266 A.D.2d 894, 697 N.Y.S.2d 440; Torres v. Hallen Constr. Corp., 226 A.D.2d 364, 365, 640 N.Y.S.2d 244). Additionally, both J Companies and Perry failed to establish, prima facie, that they lacked constructive notice of the alleged dangerous condition (see Gordon v. American Museum of Natural History, 67 N.Y.2d 836, 501 N.Y.S.2d 646, 492 N.E.2d 774; Aragundi v. Tishman Realty & Constr. Co., Inc., 68 A.D.3d 1027, 1030, 891 N.Y.S.2d 462; Rodriguez v. Hudson View Assoc., LLC, 63 A.D.3d 1135, 1136, 883 N.Y.S.2d 245; Van Dina v. St. Francis Hosp., Roslyn, N.Y., 45 A.D.3d 673, 845 N.Y.S.2d 430; Riley v. ISS Intl. Serv.

Accordingly, J Companies and Perry did not make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law (see generally Alvarez v. Prospect Hosp., 68 N.Y.2d 320, 508 N.Y.S.2d 923, 501 N.E.2d 572).
