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.
