How later courts describe this case

  • warrant valid for entire residence where defendant had “dominion and control” over first floor and used it for access to second floor gambling ring
  • financial benefits accruing to a state from the continued operation of dog racing track do not convert private conduct into state action
  • evidence that defendant used first floor as access to second floor gambling ring justified searching entire building
  • search warrant upheld despite a minor inaccuracy in the description of the place to be searched because there was no likelihood that the inaccuracy would lead to the search of an innocent or unsuspected person’s property
