Is there any case law that supports an arrest warrant as a valid search warrant?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Gant v. Cnty. of L.A., 772 F.3d 608 (9th Cir. 2014):

7 Gant argues that two cases, United States v. Cardwell, 680 F.2d 75 (9th Cir.1982), and United States v. Spilotro, 800 F.2d 959 (9th Cir.1986), are dispositive as to his Fourth Amendment claims. These cases, however, address search warrants, not arrest warrants, and we are aware of no authority incorporating the rules articulated in these cases into our case law regarding the adequacy of arrest warrants.
