Cuevas-Mendoza v. United States

How later courts describe this case

• holding that pre-hear-ing notice that the Parole Commission could apply an earlier conviction against the probationer to deny him credit for “street time” was not required because a federal statute mandated the denial of credit
• upholding state court judgment that exigent circumstances did not exist in case where, inter alia, the police cars had surrounded the house and it was afternoon
• accepting the District Court’s determinations that officers’ decision to “void” airline tickets delivered during a controlled buy to prevent public dissemination was “reasonable,” before concluding that exigent circumstances justifying a warrantless entry were present
• warrantless search justified by exigent circumstances of preventing destruction of evidence and protecting the undercover operation
• likelihood of destruction of evidence and imminent danger to law officers or other persons
