Does a warrant for a search warrant for search of a garage authorize the search of the garage?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Buxton, A146956 (Cal. App. 2018):

Appellant cites no relevant authority for the proposition that the warrant did not authorize search of the garage.³ To the contrary, "[a] search warrant for the entire premises of a single family residence is valid, notwithstanding the fact that it was issued based on information regarding the alleged illegal activities of one of several occupants of a residence." (United States v. Ayers (9th Cir. 1991) 924 F.2d 1468, 1480; People v. Gorg (1958) 157 Cal.App.2d 515, 523 [warrant for three-bedroom flat occupied authorized search of bedroom of person other than the one named in warrant].)⁴
