The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Wilcox, 640 F.2d 970 (9th Cir. 1981):
3 The parties have briefed the question whether this was a "federal" or "state" search. The government argues that the participation of federal officers in the search at issue here was so minimal that Rule 41 is inapplicable, citing decisions such as United States v. Millar, 543 F.2d 1280 (10th Cir. 1976). Because we ultimately conclude that the Rule 41 issue cannot be raised here in any event, we find it unnecessary to reach the quasi-"silver platter" issue.
