191422P.pdf 07/20/2020 Damon O'Neil v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-1422
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Habeas. For the decision in defendant's direct appeal, see
U.S. v. O'Neil, 496 Fed. Appx. 694 (8th Cir. 2013); vacated in O'Neil v.
U.S., 571 U.S. 801 (2013); affirmed on remand U.S. v. O'Neill, 595 Fed.
Appx. 665 (2015). The district court did not err in rejecting O'Neil's
claims that his attorney rendered ineffective assistance of counsel: (1)
by failing to request a Franks hearing; (2) by failing to move to
challenge the validity of the search warrant and the existence of probable
cause; (3) by failing to move to suppress the evidence found on his cell
phones; and (4) by failing to file a motion to suppress his confession.
