The following excerpt is from People v. Bustamante, B252930 (Cal. App. 2014):
unsealed nor the sealed portion."4 We have reviewed the sealed and unsealed portions of the affidavit, and the testimony at hearings held in open court and in camera hearings. As we explain below, substantial evidence supports the trial court's finding that there are no material misrepresentations in the affidavit. (People v. Hepner (1994) 21 Cal.App.4th 761, 776, 26 Cal.Rptr.2d 417 ["to the extent the court heard evidence and resolved factual issues in the [defendant's] efforts to traverse the affidavit in support of the search warrant, the trial court's good faith factual findings, "'whether express or implied, must be upheld if they are supported by substantial evidence"'"].) Assuming we independently reviewed the record, we would find no deliberate misrepresentations and no speculation designed to deceive.
