Chatrie v. United States · ¶32

After granting rehearing en banc, the Fourth Circuit affirmed in a one-sentence per curiam. See 136 F. 4th 100, 101 (2025) (“The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED”). In multiple accompanying writings, the court divided evenly (7 to 7) on whether a Fourth Amendment search had occurred. Of the seven judges who thought it had, most believed the geofence warrant defective. But most also thought the exclusionary rule’s good-faith exception applied, so ruled against Chatrie anyway.
