v. ORDER

ROBERT FILION, DONALD l. GARB RECHT ! 1.1' t 1 ( P'':'' r'! .II :;-, \ /

Defendant

The findings of fact made on the record at the close of the hearing are

incorporated into this order by reference.

The facts in this case differ from those in Tullous and Missouri, on which the

defendant relies. See State v. Tullous, 692 N.W.2d 790, 790-791 (S.D. 2005); State v.

Missouri, 603 S.E.2d 594, 594-596 (S.c. 2004). The defendant has failed to meet his

burden that he had a reasonable expectation of privacy at Ms. Rines's horne. See

Minnesota v. Carter, 525 U.s. 83, 88 (1998); see also u.s. v. Battle, 400 F. Supp. 2d. 355,

358 (D. Mass. 2005).

The defendant is charged with trafficking in schedule W drugs. Unless the State

is relying on possession to prove trafficking, the defendant has no standing to challenge

the search. See 17-A M.R.S.A. §§1l03(1-A)(A) & 1l01(17)((D); State v. Cadigan, 249

A.2d 750, 753 (Me. 1969).

The entry is

The Defendant's Motion to Suppress the Search and Seizure of Evidence is DENIED. ..
