The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Flores, 172 F.3d 695 (9th Cir. 1999):
3 At oral argument before this court, Flores contended for the first time that he had standing to object to the search of a co-conspirator's apartment. Even if we were to reach this issue, see United States v. Martini, 31 F.3d 781, 782 n. 2 (9th Cir.1994), Flores's argument is without merit. See United States v.. Padilla, 508 U.S. 77, 113 S.Ct. 1936, 123 L.Ed.2d 635 (1993) (rejecting the argument that a defendant has a legitimate expectation of privacy in places or property under the control of a co-conspirator).
