The following excerpt is from United States v. Barnes, 449 F.2d 1294 (9th Cir. 1971):
The search point is not valid. The case of Stoner v. California, 376 U. S. 483, 84 S.Ct. 889, 11 L.Ed.2d 856, would be applicable if Barnes had been occupying premises where he had a right to be. The trial court found he had no such right and that he who consented to the search had a right to consent.
