Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit May 2, 2002, Nos. 01-3350, 01-3771 (United States v. Headon)

OPINION

WEIS, Circuit Judge.

These consolidated appeals present a common issue, the validity of the searches of defendants’ homes and vehicles. Both defendants pleaded guilty, reserving the right to appeal the denial of their suppression motions.

Search warrants were issued by a judge of the Court of Common Pleas of West-moreland County at the behest of an experienced state trooper.
