   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2728
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Beam and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant's girlfriend was acting as a 
   private citizen, and not as a government agent, when she retrieved his 
   cell phone from his vehicle and gave it to police; the woman did not 
   search the car at the officers' request and there was insufficient 
   evidence to show that she was motivated solely or even primarily by the 
   intent to aid the officers.
