161248P.pdf 12/28/2016 United States v. Mark Fuehrer
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-1248
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Dubuque
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Colloton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The police officer who
stopped defendant had an objectively reasonable basis to believe defendant
was speeding and the traffic stop was supported by probable cause and was
not pretextual; the drug dog sniff in the case was performed while the
ticketing officer was still performing the required paperwork in the case,
and there is no evidence the dog sniff unlawfully prolonged the traffic
stop beyond what was necessary to complete the stop; defendant's prior
federal and state convictions were for separate offenses and were properly
scored under Guidelines Sec. 4A1.2(a)(2).
