U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-1980
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Smith and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. At the time of petitioner's arrest, there was no
precedent from either the Eighth Circuit or the Supreme Court requiring
police to obtain a search warrant to search a cell phone seized incident
to arrest, and counsel's failure to anticipate and raise the issue in a
motion to suppress did not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel.
