    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the admission of incriminating evidence seized by FBI agents during a search for the defendant to execute an arrest warrant. The court found that the search was reasonable because it was for the defendant himself and did not involve opening drawers or cupboards where such material would normally be stored, and the incriminating material was in plain view of the agents. The court concluded that admission of the evidence was not erroneous given these circumstances.

    423 F.

    2d 1068

    UNITED STATES of America, Appellee,


    v.
    Randolph Joseph C. GREENE, Appellant.
    No. 13770.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Argued March 3, 1970.
    Decided April 6, 1970.

    Parnell J. Porter, Corboy, Porter & Seiler, Vienna, Va., on the brief, for
    appellant.
    David H. Hopkins, Asst. U.S. Atty. (Brian P. Gettings, U.S. Atty., on the
    brief), for appellee.
    Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, and SOBELOFF and BRYAN,
    Circuit judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    During a search for the defendant in an attempt to execute an arrest warrant,


    F.B.I. agents seized incriminating material, which was in their plain view. The
    admission in evidence of that material was not erroneous since the record
    shows that the search was for the defendant himself, did not involve the
    opening of drawers or cupboards, where such material would be expected to be
    stored, and was reasonable.

    Affirmed.
