California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Brown, 62 Cal.App.4th 493, 72 Cal.Rptr.2d 793 (Cal. App. 1998):

Our standard on appeal from the denial of a motion to suppress is well established. We defer to the trial court's factual findings where supported by substantial evidence, but exercise our independent judgment to determine whether, on the facts found, the search was reasonable under Fourth Amendment standards. ( People v. Leyba (1981) 29 Cal.3d 591, 596-597, 174 Cal.Rptr. 867, 629 P.2d 961.)
