Heading: District Court's Denial of Suppression Motion

Text: 8 Asserting that the search was not consensual, Broxton challenges the district court's denial of his suppression motion. The judge, however, reasonably credited Officer Buss's testimony that Broxton submitted, without coercion, to the search of his person. See Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. 218, 227, 93 S.Ct. 2041, 2047, 36 L.Ed.2d 854 (1973) (voluntariness of search is determined by totality of the circumstances); United States v. Smith, 901 F.2d 1116 (D.C.Cir.1990); United States v. Maragh, 894 F.2d 415 (D.C.Cir.1990). We note specifically the absence of precedent distinguishing in this context, for the purpose of voluntariness determinations, between a search of a person and a search of personal luggage. See United States v. Morgan, 914 F.2d 272 (D.C.Cir.1990) (consensual search of back pocket held constitutional). 9
