Prior Decision
Opinion below 494 F3d 891 (10th Cir. 2007)

Police officers may not enter and search a private home without a warrant based on the “consent” of a third party, a non-resident informant who purchased drugs there, and the search was so unreasonable that the officers are not entitled to qualified immunity from civil suit.
