No. CR 06-00375 SI

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S

MOTION TO SUPPRESS

On December 15, 2006, the Court heard argument on defendant Jorge Estrada’s motion to

suppress. Having considered the arguments of the parties and the papers submitted, and for good cause

shown, the Court hereby DENIES defendant’s motion. As the government argues, the Immigration and

CustomsEnforcement (ICE) agents had reasonable suspicion of defendant’s deportability, and theirbrief

detention of defendant therefore did not violate the Fourth Amendment. As to defendant’s Fifth

Amendment claim, the Court finds that he was not initially subjected to custodial interrogation by the

ICE agents. Consequently, their failure to Mirandize defendant at the outset of the encounter does not

warrant suppression based on the Fifth Amendment. For the foregoing reasons, the Court DENIES

defendant’s motion to suppress. (Docket No. 31)

IT IS SO ORDERED.
