The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Nunez, 5 F.3d 543 (9th Cir. 1993):
Appellant contends that he was arrested without probable cause, and therefore the follow-up search of his home was improper. In such an inquiry, the district court's findings of fact and determinations of credibility are reviewed for clear error. United States v. Bautista, 684 F.2d 1286 (9th Cir.1982). The district court's legal conclusions are reviewed de novo. United States v. Flippin, 924 F.2d 163 (9th Cir.1991).
