documents on the floor near the night stand. (See Hr’g, Gov. Ex. 27 ¶ 6.) The documents included identification cards, social security cards, and blank checks, none of which were in Nishimura’s or Defendant’s names, scattered among six open white envelopes. (Id.) Special Agent Tuan Payton stated that the loose documents were in plain view, and their incriminating character was immediately apparent, as they consisted of sensitive, private, and valuable documents in the names of people other than Defendant or Nishimura. (Id.; see also Hrg, Gov. Exs. 19-25.) The Court finds that Special Agent Pay-ton had probable cause to believe that the documents were associated with criminal activity such as fraud or identity theft. See United States v. Giannetta, 909 F.2d 571, 579 (1st Cir.1990) (<HOLDING>); see also United States v. Caymen, 404 F.3d
