Text: 7 A magistrate's determination of probable cause to issue a search warrant is accorded great deference and is reversed only if that determination is clearly erroneous. U.S. v. Espinosa, 827 F.2d 604, 610 (9th Cir.1987) cert. denied 108 S.Ct. 1243 (1988); Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 236 (1982). In borderline cases, performance will be accorded to warrants and to the decision of the magistrate issuing it. U.S. v. Martinez, 588 F.2d 1227, 1234 (9th Cir.1987).
