101299P.pdf   12/20/2010  United States  v.  William Crippen
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-1299
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Bright and Arnold, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence seized during pat-down was admissible as the officer had a reasonable suspicion to believe defendant was armed and dangerous; defendant did not have standing to challenge the search of the vehicle in which he was riding as a passenger; no error in denying motion in limine concerning pseudoephedrine logs, prior convictions and jail house recordings; evidence was sufficient to support defendant's convictions for conspiracy to manufacture meth and conspiracy to tamper with a witness; district court did not err in finding defendant qualified for sentencing as a career offender; any error in calculating the amount of drugs involved in the offense was harmless because defendant's base offense level was calculated based on his career offender status.
