People v. Coleman

Michigan Supreme Court

Decided September 12, 1990No. 84313, (Calendar No. 3)PublishedCited by 13 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtLevin, J.

As set forth in the concurring opinion, the search of Coleman’s purse did not amount to a search of her person.1 The search was permissible *126as a search of a container in which items specified in the warrant might be found.2

Because the search of Coleman’s purse was not a search of her person, there is no need to consider Ybarra v Illinois, 444 US 85; 100 S Ct 338; 62 L Ed 2d 238 (1979), People v Arterberry, 431 Mich 381; 429 NW2d 574 (1988), or the other authorities cited in the concurring opinion concerning a search of a person.

Reversed and remanded.
