Abstract

Review of the Fourth Amendment cases from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The cases in this Survey period differ little from the cases in the other periods. What appears most striking is the number of unpublished Fourth Amendment cases, which leads me to conclude that many Fourth Amendment cases are resolved by relying on the Circuit's well-settled decisional authority.
