The opinion says at the time the warrantless search occurred, one appellate court had already held "that no warrant was required in those circumstances" (p 42). Only a year after the search occurred, did another appellate court rule the other way.
This is the main argument that the search met the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule (i.e. the rule that says you have to exclude evidence improperly obtained). This exception is supported in the opinion (at p41) with several citations including United States v. Ganias, 824 F.3d 199, 221–22 (2d Cir. 2016)
