The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Gil, 58 F.3d 1414 (9th Cir. 1995):
The lower court's determination of probable cause will not be reversed absent a finding of clear error. United States v. Pitts, 6 F.3d 1366, 1369 (9th Cir.1993). The judge making the original determination of probable cause is accorded significant deference by the reviewing court. In re Grand Jury Subpoenas Dated Dec. 10, 1987, 926 F.2d 847, 856 (9th Cir.1991); United States v. McQuisten, 795 F.2d 858, 861 (9th Cir.1986).
