   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1716
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Shepherd and Beam, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Affidavits presented by ATF agents were 
   sufficient to establish probable cause that defendant was selling 
   controlled substances and that evidence of this would be found at his home 
   and his "head shops;" evidence was sufficient for the jury to conclude 
   that defendant conspired to sell drug paraphernalia in violation of 21 
   U.S.C. Sec. 863(e): the evidence was sufficient to support defendant's 
   conviction for conspiracy to distribute Schedule I controlled substances; 
   there was sufficient evidence to show defendant conducted financial 
   transactions related to his business knowing the transactions were 
   designed to conceal the nature and source of some of the proceeds from the 
   shop in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1956(a)(1)(B); there was insufficient 
   evidence, however, for the jury to find defendant knowingly possessed 
   ammunition that had been transported in interstate commerce in violation 
   of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(g)(1), and that conviction is reversed; preliminary 
   order of forfeiture affirmed.
