164379P.pdf 12/21/2017 United States v. Stanley Mosley, Jr.
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-4379
and No: 16-4424
and No: 16-4489
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Chief Judge Smith and Wollman, Circuit
Judges]
Criminal Cases - suppression. Based on the close temporal and physical
proximity of the grey Taurus to the bank robbery the totality of the
circumstances indicates that reasonable suspicion supported the vehicle
stop; the information from the witness -- its eyewitness knowledge,
contemporaneous reporting and accountability was sufficiently reliable;
the stop was not unlawfully extended, as the officer conferred with other
officers and the mission of assessing whether the car was involved in the
bank robbery was pursued diligently and without measurable delay. The
defendants lacked standing to challenge the search of the trunk. Any error
in Mosley's designation as a career offender is harmless because the
district court indicated the sentence would be the same with or without
the designation.
