The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Cocoa-Tapia, 29 F.3d 635 (9th Cir. 1994):
The government argues that appellants lack standing to contest the seizure because neither appellant met his burden of demonstrating that he had a legitimate expectation of privacy in the trailer. The government contends that the district court erred in concluding that the defendants had standing pursuant to the "joint venture" standing doctrine of United States v. Padilla, 960 F.2d 854, 860-61 (9th Cir.1992).
