   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2732
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Lincoln   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal Case - Conviction. Conviction for methamphetamine distribution 
   and possession charges. Sufficient evidence was submitted for a finding of 
   probable cause to issue search warrant of garage and of camper within the 
   garage; the camper was not separated in any manner from the garage and 
   appeared to be lived-in; application of automobile exception was 
   irrelevant; because initial search was legally conducted, information 
   gained from it could be relied upon for subsequent search. District court 
   did not abuse its discretion in denying a Franks hearing, as any 
   potentially misleading facts were immaterial and warrant was supported by 
   probable cause with information redacted. District court did not abuse its 
   discretion in denial of in camera review of officer's personnel file, as 
   motion was based on mere speculation that file contained exculpatory 
   and/or impeaching information. Admission of "bad acts" evidence was not an 
   abuse of discretion, as the testimony played little role in the trial in 
   light of overwhelming other evidence supporting convictions. Denial of 
   lesser-included-offense of simple possession jury instruction was not an 
   abuse of discretion. Sufficient evidence supported the verdict on every 
   count.
