1. “[E]ven if Wright had the authority to grant Brown possession of the vehicle, and even if that possession thereby afforded Brown a legitimate expectation of privacy therein, his expectation’s continued validity would logically coincide with the duration of his permissive use. When Brown returned the vehicle’s keys to Wright, he effectively terminated the period of his permissive use, and accordingly, any expectation of privacy he had in the vehicle. As the Malibu was neither seized nor searched until after Brown had terminated the period of his permissive use, he failed to establish that he had a legitimate expectation of privacy at the relevant time period.”
