The holdings of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida in United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Jeffrey Leonard Holmes, et al., Defendants, Gainesville Criminal No. 73-27, contained in its Order of April 25, 1974, regarding the installation of the battery-operated beacon or “beeper” in the early evening of August 3, 1973, under the right rear wheel of the appellee Jeffrey Holmes’ van, while it was parked on a lot outside a lounge in Gainesville, Florida, to-wit: (1) that the use of the beacon to monitor the movements of the van was a search subject to the Fourth Amendment, (2) that such search was illegal because of the failure to obtain a warrant for its installation, (3) that an application for a warrant would have been rejected because no probable cause existed to justify its installation, (4) that no evidence at the Moody property would have been discovered, nor would the van with its contraband have been intercepted without the aid of the beacon, and (5) the suppression of evidence as the “fruit” of the initial *228search, as to such issues1 are each affirmed by an equally divided court.
