   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-3600
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. District court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant's request for a Franks hearing; warrant affidavits were not stale and established probable cause to believe that contraband would be found; drug quantity is an element of the offense when it increases the statutory maximum sentence and it was not error to deny defendant's request to plead guilty without admitting drug quantity.
