STAHL, Circuit Judge.
Because this case is largely controlled by another that we have decided today, United States v. Baez, No. 13-1025, 744 F.3d 30, 2014 WL 800481 (1st Cir. Feb. 28, 2014), we will keep our opinion brief.
As part of an investigation into a heroin-smuggling organization, Officer Robert DiFilippo of the Rhode Island State Police High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) task force placed a global positioning system (GPS) device on defendant-appellant Abdulfatah Oladosu's car and used that device to track Oladosu's movements for forty-seven days, from February 12, 2010 until March 30, 2010.
After Oladosu moved to suppress the evidence obtained as a result of the warrantless GPS monitoring, but before the district court ruled on the motion, the Supreme Court decided, in United States v. Jones, ___ U.S. ___, 132 S.Ct. 945, 181 L.Ed.2d 911 (2012), that the installation and use of a GPS tracker on a car constitutes a Fourth Amendment search. The district court nonetheless denied Oladosu's motion to suppress, concluding that the officers had relied in good faith on pre-Jones legal precedent and that, under Davis v. United States, ___ U.S. ___, 131 S.Ct. 2419, 180 L.Ed.2d 285 (2011), the exclusionary rule should not apply. United States v. Oladosu, 887 F.Supp.2d 437 (D.R.I.2012).
Before the parties briefed the case on appeal, we decided United States v. Sparks, 711 F.3d 58 (1st Cir.2013), in which we upheld eleven days of pre-Jones warrantless GPS tracking under the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule. We concluded that, at the time of the surveillance at issue in Sparks, settled, binding precedent in the form of United States v. Knotts, 460 U.S. 276, 103 S.Ct. 1081, 75 L.Ed.2d 55 (1983), and United States v. Moore, 562 F.2d 106 (1st Cir. 1977), authorized the agents' conduct. Sparks, 711 F.3d at 67.
Our review here is de novo. See Baez, at 32-33, 2014 WL 800481 at *3. We begin with an argument to which Oladosu has devoted much of his brief but to which we need not devote much of our opinion: that Sparks was wrongly decided.
Oladosu also attempts to distinguish his case from Sparks based on the nature of the GPS monitoring to which he was subjected. That monitoring was, he claims, "prolonged and intrusive," and it amounted to a "dragnet" within the meaning of Knotts. See 460 U.S. at 283-84, 103 S.Ct. 1081; see also Baez, 744 F.3d at 33-35, 2014 WL 800481 at *4 (discussing the Knotts "dragnet" passage). As in Baez, we need not decide here "what type of law enforcement conduct, if any, might have implicated the Knotts `dragnet' passage in the pre-Jones era," Baez, 744 F.3d at 35-36, 2014 WL 800481 at *5, because Oladosu has given us no reason to believe that the GPS surveillance to which he was subjected was qualitatively different from the surveillance in Sparks. The only distinction Oladosu has made between his case and Sparks is that the device remained on his car for forty-seven days, rather than eleven, and we see no reason why that fact alone should take this case outside the scope of Sparks and the good-faith exception. See id. (upholding 347 days of GPS monitoring under the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule). While Sparks does not stand for the proposition that the duration of GPS monitoring conducted in the pre-Jones era can never be relevant for Fourth Amendment purposes, see id. at 33-36, 2014 WL 800481 at *4-5, Oladosu has not demonstrated that the surveillance here was "so extensive or indiscriminate that the officers who conducted it could not fairly be said to have been complying with Knotts." Id. at 35, 2014 WL 800481 at *4-5.
Finally, Oladosu suggests that this case differs from Sparks because, about two weeks after the initial installation of the GPS device (which occurred while Oladosu's car was parked on a public street), Detective DiFilippo walked ten to twelve feet up Oladosu's driveway to change the tracker's batteries, which required removal and reinstallation of the device. It is true that, in Sparks, the GPS device was installed while Sparks's car was parked not in a driveway but in a private parking lot shared by tenants of two residential buildings. United States v. Sparks, 750 F.Supp.2d 384, 387 (D.Mass.2010). The Sparks district court had concluded that the parking lot was not a constitutionally protected area, id. at 388-89, a finding that we were not asked to review on appeal.
Thus, for the reasons we articulated in Baez and Sparks, we conclude that the agents here were acting in objectively reasonable reliance on then-binding precedent when they installed the GPS device on Oladosu's car and engaged in the subsequent monitoring. See Baez, 744 F.3d at 33-35, 2014 WL 800481 at *4; Sparks, 711 F.3d at 67. We therefore find that the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule applies, see Davis, 131 S.Ct. at 2423-24, and we affirm the district court's denial of Oladosu's motion to suppress.
