U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 09-2309
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and John
R. Gibson, Circuit Judge]
Criminal case - criminal law. Officer had a reasonable suspicion that
criminal activity was occurring, and he could continue his stop to briefly
question defendant and wave down a passing canine unit; delay between
beginning of the stop and the drug-sniff was not excessive; agents
reasonably believed defendant had voluntarily consented to search of his
residence for the purpose of seizing a briefcase containing his financial
records; district court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant's
request for the presentence reports of cooperating witnesses; no error in
denying motion for continuance; evidence was sufficient to support
defendant's convictions for monetary transactions in criminally derived
property and for conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
