01-2720 State v. Eskridge

“Here, we conclude that under the facts of this case, Eskridge’s claim of privacy is not consistent with historical notions of privacy. Historical notions of privacy do not seem to encompass ‘common areas’ in apartment buildings. As pointed out earlier, common areas in apartment buildings are, by their very definition, not private but shared areas, accessible to and used by other tenants.”

Judgment convicting defendant of possession of cocaine is affirmed.
