Mar 27 2002Briefing ordered
  Review was granted on 2-28-01 & further action deferred pending disposition of a related issue in People v. Moss (S087478). Submission of additional briefing was also deferred pending further order. People v. Moss was dismissed pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 29.4 (c) on January 16, 2002. Respondent is now directed to serve file a Brief on the Merits on or before 4-26-2. Additional briefing is to be served & filed in a timely fashion. The brief is to address the following issues: 1) Should court reconsider In re Tyrell J. that otherwise illegal search of minor subject to probation search condition is "not unconstitutional despite office's ignorance of search condition"? 2) If our holding in In re Tyrell J. remains viable, should it apply to adult parolees who are subject to search conditions? 3) Under People v. Robles, does admissibility of fruits of search in present case differ as to defendant Sanders, who was not subject to a search condition, as compared to defendant McDaniel who was? Chin, J., was absent and did not participate.
