The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Washington, 797 F.2d 1461 (9th Cir. 1986):
Thus, although the district court's finding of the lack of inducement does not, by itself, establish that the state search was not a subterfuge for a federal search, the finding that the state search was made in good faith is dispositive of the issue. As in Hare, the district court essentially found that the Oakland officers' search of Washington's home for evidence of narcotics transactions was a "serious valid, investigation" and not "a pretense fabricated to mask the [federal officers'] lack of probable cause" to search for evidence of prostitution. See Hare, 589 F.2d at 1296. See also United States v. Johnson, 707 F.2d 317 (8th Cir.1983).
