Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Before BOUDIN, SELYA and LIPEZ, Circuit Judges.


SELYA, Circuit Judge.

This case raises interesting questions regarding the constitutional limits of searches conducted by the police with the aid of modern technology and medical professionals. Concluding, as we do, that the search at issue here comported with the strictures of both the United States Constitution and the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, we affirm the district court's entry of summary judgment for the defendants.
