Description
This matter comes on before this court on appeal from the district courts order partially denying appellants motion seeking summary judgment on qualified immunity grounds. The appellants are Drug Enforcement Administatration ("DEA") agents who applied for a search warrant for the appellees residence and executed the warrant the next day. The issues on appeal relate to the execution of the warrant. The search was an aspect of an extensive DEA investigation into a large cocaine distribution ring reputedly run by Geraldo Nieves. During the investigation, the DEA secured the cooperation of Blake OFarrow, who had been a participant in the Nieves ring. OFarrow informed DEA Special Agent Matthew Donahue in September and November 1996, and again in January 1997, that Nieves was using a house at 3936 North Fifth Street in Philadelphia for storing, cutting, and bagging cocaine.
