Write a two-page paper analyzing the fact pattern presented
below. Please use federal law or North

warrants, execution of warrants, exceptions to the warrant requirement,
exclusionary rule, Miranda rights, and the right against
self-incrimination. Do not restate the
facts in your paper, but rather identify the issues, analyze, and provide your
legal reasoning.

Ensure your citations are in APA or Bluebook format.

Chris is a police officer with the local Centerville Police
Department. She is in plain clothes and
knocked on the front door of Steve’s house and asked if she could enter to
enforce a valid warrant. The warrant was
a search warrant issued by Judge Wells from the Centerville District
Court. Judge Wells is a retired state
police trooper from the state police barracks in Centerville. The warrant indicated that “the first
floor of Steve’s house will be searched for a gun used in connection with a
robbery and jewelry, which was stolen.”
While searching the first floor of Steve’s house, Officer Chris smelled
what she thought was gun powder emanating from the second floor. Officer Chris immediately walked upstairs and
found a gun at the tops of the stairs.
She went to confiscate the gun and while doing so noticed a note
attached to the gun with an address on it.
The address was a known location for stolen jewelry to be pawned. During the search, Steve told Officer Chris
that, “I do not know what you are here for, because I did not rob Grubb’s
jewelry store.” Officer Chris asked
Steve to go to the police station and Steve agreed. As they walked into the police station, Judge
Wells yelled, “is that the person who robbed Grubb’s jewelry
store?” Steve replied, “I told
Officer Chris already, I did not rob Grubb’s jewelry store.”

Exercise: Your Departmental Diversity Program
Assume you have spent several years as a health information management (HIM) supervisor in a relatively small hospital .Your staff of five—four people plus you—consisted of four white women and one Asian woman . Your group had been together for several years .Your hospital recently merged with a considerably larger institution located a few miles away . The other hospital is sufficiently larger, but in spite of the frequent use of the term “merger,” the prevailing opinion in both organizations is that it is more a matter of the larger absorbing the smaller .One of the first major changes to occur was the combining of parallel departments under a single supervisor; that is, where before each hospital had a manager of HIM, the new scheme calls for one manager to supervise the HIM groups in both facilities . For perhaps 75% or more of hospital functions, the department manager in the larger institution became manager of the combined department, but in this case the expanded management role fell to you . The HIM manager in the larger institution elected to take early retirement rather than manage the combined function .Now you have acquired, counting full-time and part-time employees, 12 more employees to manage . The composition of the acquired group is four African–Americans, three Hispanics, one Asian, and one Native American . There are three whites, with one of these being the lone male in your newly constituted department . Your initial observations of the expanded department cause you to conclude that you have a great deal of work to do in bringing these groups together as an effectively functioning unit and securing your acceptance by the employees .
Instructions-
Create an outline of the steps you believe you would consider taking to make your transition to your new role as smooth as possible . Your steps should include consideration of what to look for in familiarizing yourself with the department and what actions you should consider, depending on what you learn .Throughout this process, keep in mind the need to respect each person as a unique individual with unique needs and a cultural background that may differ from yours while also remaining aware of the need for equity and consistency in dealing with employees . (Hint: Based on what you learn in the early weeks of your new assignment, your response to the instruction could be anywhere from swift and simple to overwhelmingly complex
