Does the particularity requirement in the search warrant application apply to a search warrant?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Warkentine v. Soria, 152 F.Supp.3d 1269 (E.D. Cal. 2016):

But this is precisely the sort of discretion that the particularity requirement is intended to foreclose. The requirement that warrants shall particularly describe the things to be seized makes general searches under them impossible and prevents the seizure of one thing under a warrant describing another. As to what is to be taken, nothing is left to the discretion of the officer executing the warrant. Stanford v. State of Tex. , 379 U.S. 476, 48586, 85 S.Ct. 506, 13 L.Ed.2d 431 (1965) (citations omitted).
