OPINION
PER CURIAM:
[1] We overrule Motley v. Parks, 432 F.3d 1072 (9th Cir.
2005), the precedent on which it relies, Moreno v. Baca, 400
F.3d 1152 (9th Cir. 2005), and United States v. Harper, 928
F.2d 894 (9th Cir. 1991), and later cases that rely on it,

including United States v. Baker, 658 F.3d 1050 (9th Cir.
2011), Sanchez v. Canales, 574 F.3d 1169 (9th Cir. 2009),
and United States v. Lopez, 474 F.3d 1208 (9th Cir. 2007), to
the extent they hold that “there is no constitutional difference
between probation and parole for purposes of the fourth
amendment.” Motley, 432 F.3d at 1083 n.9 (internal quotation
marks omitted). These cases conflict with the Supreme
Court’s holding that “parolees have fewer expectations of pri-
vacy than probationers.” Samson v. California, 547 U.S. 843,
850 (2006).
United States v. King, 672 F.3d 1133 (9th Cir. 2012), is
vacated, and the case is referred to the original panel for dis-
position consistent with this opinion.
