The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Guzman-Bruno, 27 F.3d 420 (9th Cir. 1994):

A defendant's identity need not be suppressed merely because it is discovered as the result of an illegal arrest or search. "[T]here is no sanction to be applied when an illegal arrest only leads to discovery of the man's identity." Hoonsilapa v. INS, 575
