SEARS, Chief Justice,
concurring specially.
For the reasons given in my separate opinion in Reaves’s co-defendant’s case,2 I agree with Division 1 (a) of the majority opinion to the extent that it holds that the warrants authorizing a search for items other than notes and papers did not violate the Fourth Amendment, but I disagree with Division 1 (a) to the extent that it holds that the warrants authorizing the search for notes and papers were not unlawful due to a lack of particularity. However, I concur in the majority’s holding that no probable cause was shown to the magistrate regarding the notes and papers and that the notes and papers thus must be suppressed. Finally, I concur in the remainder of the majority opinion, and in the judgment.
I am authorized to state that Presiding Justice Hunstein joins in this special concurrence.

 Reaves v. State, 284 Ga. 181 (664 SE2d 211) (2008).
