Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN Document 140 Filed 02/04/21 Page 10 of 22 degree to which the subpoena would reach private material of no pertinence to the grand jury’s inquiry.” See In re Grand Jury Subpoena, JK-15-029, 828 F.3d at 1089. The Fourth Amendment does not allow such a sweeping search, which would be nothing but a modern-day general warrant. Jd. at 1088.' This Court should suppress all evidence the government obtained from the subpoena (0 aT B. The government’s subpoena to i was an unconstitutional warrantless Fourth Amendment search.
