Heading: Suppression of the Cellular Phone

Text: 34 Charles also claims that the district court erred by not suppressing the cellular phone found in the blue Buick station wagon parked outside of 862 Parham. Although Charles contends that the police found additional items in the car, the evidence at the suppression hearing supports the district court's conclusion that the police seized only the cellular phone from the station wagon. In addition, the government did not introduce the cellular phone into evidence. Charles correctly contends that the government failed to obtain a warrant for the station wagon and that the remedy for an unlawful search is suppression of the evidence. Because the government never introduced the phone into evidence during trial, however, suppressing the cellular phone was unnecessary. Thus we agree with the district court that the failure to suppress the phone did not harm Charles.
