Search and Seizure — reasonable expectation of privacy

Ilie Paul Horvath appeals a judgment convicting him of manufacturing THC. He entered a guilty plea after the court denied his motion to suppress evidence seized during the execution of a search warrant. Although the circuit court’s reasoning is not entirely clear, it appears the court concluded the State presented sufficient evidence to establish probable cause to support the warrant and/or Horvath’s landlord consented to the search. Although we disagree with both of these rationales, we affirm the judgment because we conclude the court ultimately reached the correct conclusion, albeit for the wrong reason. This opinion will not be published.
