   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2268
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [ Bye, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Beam,
   Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Based on all of the factors
   in the case, the district court did not err in finding the evidence seized
   during a search was admissible under the Leon good-faith exception;
   challenge to the substantive reasonable of his sentence was barred by
   defendant's appeal waiver; Eighth Amendment challenge to sentence was
   not waived, but the sentence, which was within the statutory range, did
   not violate the Eighth Amendment.
