The following excerpt is from People v. Amador, 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 617, 24 Cal.4th 387, 9 P.3d 993 (Cal. 2000):
In any event, the exact number of errors in the warrant description is not critical. The warrant described the house in several other particulars. Absent allegations and proof to the contrary, we must presume the rest of the description is accurate. Nothing in the record suggests, and defendant has not claimed, that any other house existed matching the warrant's description so closely that there was a reasonable probability it would be mistakenly searched. Accordingly, it appears "that other parts of the description which are correct limit the place to be searched to one place," a factor that supports upholding the search. (United States v. Gitcho, supra, 601 F.2d at p. 371.)
