US V Patane Supreme Court Case The case of U.S. v. Samuel Francis Patane is questioning whether or not the physical evidence found at his house can be used in court given the fact that he was partly read his Miranda rights. Samuel Patane, a Colorado resident, was arrested in 2001 for allegedly violating a restraining order that kept him from contacting his ex-girlfriend, Linda O’Donnell, in any way. There is no restraining order on file, but the testimonies indicate that Patane was not permitted to have any direct or indirect contact with O’Donnell within the 72 hours after he was released on bond from El Paso, Colorado county jail. The petitioner in this case is the United States, and the respondent in this case is Samuel Francis Patane. On June 6, Detective Josh Benner received a call from an agent with the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms stating that a county probation officer told him Samuel Patane was in possession of a Glock .40 caliber pistol. Detective Benner then called Linda O’Donnell to ask about the gun, and coincidentally Officer Fox was already at O’Donnell’s home.
