Does the fact that the apartment manager incorrectly identified one of the suspects as a suspect in a domestic violence case invalidate an affidavit?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Matthews, 62 F.3d 1426 (9th Cir. 1995):

1 Although the apartment manager incorrectly identified one of the suspects as actually being Matthews, the affiant in good faith relied upon this identification, and thus, this fact does not invalidate the affidavit. See United States v. Smith, 588 F.2d 737, 740 (9th Cir. 1978), cert. denied, 440 U.S. 939 (1979); see also United States v. Brown, 951 F.2d 999, 1002 (9th Cir. 1991).
