The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Mickle, 886 F.2d 1320 (9th Cir. 1989):
3 Mickle does not challenge the officers' actions once inside his apartment. Compare Arizona v. Hicks, 480 U.S. 321, 324-27 (1987) (although initial entry and search were concededly justified by exigent circumstances, search and seizure of stereo equipment was constitutionally defective because officers did not have probable cause to believe equipment found in plain view was stolen property).
