(See Hr’g, Gov. Ex. 16.); see United States v. Issacs, 708 F.2d 1365, 1370 (9th Cir.1983); cf.

In conjunction, all of this information gave Special Agent Itnyre probable cause to believe that all the notebooks and papers, not just those where writing was visible, were associated with criminal activity. See United States v. Whitten, 706 F.2d 1000, 1013 (9th Cir.1983) (<HOLDING>) implied overruling on other grounds recognized
