   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1820
                          and No:  19-1902
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Benton and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in denying 
   defendant Garcia Ortiz's motion to suppress a search as the officers had 
   reasonable, articulable suspicion, based on their on-going investigation 
   and observations that the occupants of the stopped vehicle were involved 
   in criminal activity, namely drug distribution; reasonable suspicion 
   clearly existed to justify the stop and remain present as further 
   information unfolded during the stop, and the district court did not err 
   in finding officers did not exceed the mission of the stop; the district 
   court did not err in concluding on this record that Garcia Ortiz 
   voluntarily consented to the search of the automobile; Garcia Ortiz's 
   post-Miranda statements were admissible as he voluntarily waived his 
   rights against self-incrimination and to counsel; the district court did 
   not err in denying defendant Magallon's request for a willful blindness 
   instruction; evidence was sufficient to support defendant Magollon's 
   conviction for conspiracy to distribute drugs.
