092577P.pdf 07/06/2010 United States v. Angelo Scott
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 09-2577
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Bye and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. No error in denying
defendant's request for a Franks hearing as the search warrant application
was sufficient to establish probable cause without the challenged
information; use of a drug dog to sniff the exterior door frame of
defendant's apartment did not violate his Fourth Amendment rights;
federal prosecution, as opposed to state prosecution, of defendant's
offenses did not amount to selective or vindictive prosecution; life
sentence did not violate defendant's Eighth Amendment rights; while
defendant was a juvenile when he committed the prior drug felonies used
to enhance his sentence, he was tried as an adult on the charges, and they
could be used to enhance his sentence in this case.
