201533P.pdf   06/29/2021  United States  v.  Shaun Short
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1533
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Grasz and Kobes, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. Even though defendant's vehicle was temporarily immobilized by a flat tire, the officers indisputably had probable cause to search the car, and an easily repaired flat tire did not cause the vehicle to lose its inherent mobility; as a result, the automobile exception applied, and the district court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress evidence seized from the vehicle; the district court did not err in refusing to hold a Franks hearing based on defendant's allegations that the detective who completed the search warrant application omitted key information; the district court did not err in determining that defendant failed to establish the detective deliberately or recklessly omitted information from the application; the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence when it imposed an upward variance based on the serious nature of the underlying events.
