• After reading Katz, use Westlaw to review Circuit Court decisions from your assigned Circuit (list provided below)
• The cases must have "branched out" of Katz
• Look for decisions where the legal analysis compared or contrasted the facts, analysis, and/or holding in Katz
• Remember, every case in this course must be criminal, not civil.

Facts

Ziggy uses his cell phone to conduct his illegal drug business. He usually talks on the phone while in his home or personal vehicle, but he went on a cross-country train trip and conducted some business while in his sleeping cabin and also while in the train's outdoor smoking section. Unbeknownst to him, there was an electronic recording device in his sleeping cabin and a human informant listening to him in the smoking section. When the train stopped, Ziggy was detained by D.E.A. agents (federal).
