Respondent, who had been charged with various federal offenses, made a pretrial motion to suppress microfilms of checks, deposit slips, and other records relating to his accounts at two banks, which maintained the records pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 (Act). That is the wrong test. [Footnote 7], In Oklahoma Press Pub. Under these principles, it was firmly settled, before the passage of the Bank Secrecy Act, that an Internal Revenue Service summons directed to a third-party bank does not violate the Fourth Amendment rights of a depositor under investigation. Bankers Assn. The court deferred decision on whether the trial court had improperly overruled respondent's motion to suppress Alderman v. United States, 394 U. S. 165 (1969). 1 v. Shultz, supra, at 53; Donaldson v. United States, supra, at 522. It is not the right of privacy of the bank, but of the petitioner, which is at issue, and, thus, it would be untenable to conclude that the bank, a neutral entity with no significant interest in the matter, may validly consent to an invasion of its depositors' rights. 441-443. 2d 71, 1976 U.S. LEXIS 148 — Brought to you by Free Law Project, a non-profit dedicated to creating high quality open legal information. [425 Thus, our inquiry on appeal is not whether the evidence, had it been disclosed, might reasonably have affected the jury's judgment on some material point. But see State v. Johnson, 68 N.J. 349, 346 A.2d 66 (1975). U.S. 435, 448] A subpoena duces tecum issued to obtain records is subject to no more stringent Fourth Amendment requirements than is the ordinary subpoena. 457, 86 L.Ed. 1194.) See Osborn v. United States, (1966); Lewis v. United States, The Eleventh Circuit has since vacated this decision pending a rehearing by the Eleventh Circuit en banc. Reiterating points made in California Bankers Ass'n v. Shultz, Powell stated that there is no expectation of privacy that a customer of a bank has when they do business through the bank, as checks, deposit slips and other paperwork are elements of commercial transactions. v. Shultz, 416 U. S. 21, 416 U. S. 53. Cf. at 409 U. S. 337 (BRENNAN, J., concurring). U.S. 96, 120 The Government relied on such records in this case and, because of that, I would affirm the Court of Appeals' reversal of respondent's conviction. On May 15, 1939, the Supreme Court, in an opinion by Justice McReynolds, decided on the National Firearms Act, as applied to one indicted for transporting in interstate commerce a 12-gauge shotgun with a barrel less than 18 inches long without having registered it and without having in his possession a stamp-affixed written order for it, as required by the Act: The Court cannot take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon.

Moreover, we rejected the argument that the Silva statement would have been useful for impeachment purposes; it had no substantive significance. Cf. did not then purport to decide whether a customer could later challenge the bank's delivery of his records to the Government pursuant to subpoena, I warned: "[I]t is ironic that, although the majority deems the bank customers' Fourth Amendment claims premature, it also intimates that, once the bank has made copies of a customer's checks, the customer no longer has standing to invoke his Fourth Amendment rights when a demand is made on the bank by the Government for the records. Miller filed a pretrial motion to suppress the bank records obtained by subpoena for violating his Fourth Amendment rights. It is merely an attempt to facilitate the use of a proper and longstanding law enforcement technique by insuring that records are available when they are needed. 873 (1975); Falk, The State Constitution: A More Than "Adequate" Nonfederal Ground, 61 Calif. L. Rev. Finally, United States v. Valdivia (9th Cir. to obtain those records permits the Government to circumvent the requirements of the Fourth Amendment by allowing it to obtain a depositor's private records without complying with the legal requirements that would be applicable had it proceeded against him directly.

Instead, these are the business records of the banks. This analysis is not changed by the mandate of the Bank Secrecy Act that records of depositors' transactions be maintained by banks. Reacting to the precedent established by the recent Supreme Court case United States v. Jones in conjunction with the application of the third party doctrine, Judge Richard D. Bennett, found that "information voluntarily disclosed to a third party ceases to enjoy Fourth Amendment protection" because that information no longer belongs to the consumer, but rather to the telecommunications company that handles the transmissions records. But in Couch the taxpayer had delivered the documents to her accountant for preparation of income tax returns "knowing that mandatory disclosure of much of the information therein is required in an income tax return." The court further declared that the SCA is unconstitutional to the extent that it allows the government to obtain emails without a warrant. Miller is often cited in the ongoing American gun politics debate, as both sides claim that it supports their position. Some of what they uncovered was later used to impeach a witness who testified on his behalf at the hearing where he unsuccessfully appealed his dismissal. 271 (1973). In making this assertion, he relies on our statement in California Bankers Assn., supra, at 416 U. S. 52, that access to the records maintained by banks under the Act is to be controlled by "existing legal process." It is a well settled rule that "suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to an accused upon request violates due process where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment, irrespective of the good faith or bad faith of the prosecution." The Fifth Circuit cited Boyd v. United States for the proposition that "a compulsory production of a man's private papers to establish a criminal charge against him...is within the scope of the Fourth Amendment". Rather, it is whether the lateness of the disclosure so prejudiced appellant's preparation or presentation of his defense that he was prevented from receiving his constitutionally guaranteed fair trial.

We must examine the nature of the particular documents sought to be protected in order to determine whether there is a legitimate "expectation of privacy" concerning their contents.
