   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-4157
                          and No:  07-1104
   U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Dubuque   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Bye and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Search warrants were
   supported by probable cause, and the district court did not err in denying
   defendant's motion to suppress and her request for a Franks hearing;
   officers had probable cause to search defendant's vehicle after a canine
   sniff showed the presence of drugs in the car; search was also authorized
   as a valid inventory search incident to impoundment; even if defendant's
   co-conspirators' out-of-court statements were not properly admitted
   under Bell, the error was harmless given the overwhelming weight of her
   guilt; evidence was sufficient to support defendants' convictions; district
   court's drug-quantity findings were not erroneous.
