Armando Rubio v. United States

423 F.2d 1222, 1970 U.S. App. LEXIS 10023

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction is reversed.

The reversal is required by Leary v. United States, 395 U.S. 6, 89 S.Ct. 1532, 23 L.Ed.2d 57, as we apply that case in United States v. Scott, 9 Cir., 425 F.2d 55, decided March 6, 1970.

The search was an immigration search for aliens some 72 miles from the Mexican border. The presumption of 21 U.S.C. § 176a was used, so Scott is fatal to the government.

We are of the opinion the search was valid.
