211104P.pdf   12/23/2021  United States  v.  Curtis Smith
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-1104
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern   
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Benton, Circuit Judge] Criminal case - Criminal law. Information supplied in the affidavit in support of the search warrant application was not stale and provided a substantial basis for finding probable cause to search defendant's motel room for firearms; the district court did not not err in denying defendant's request for a Franks hearing because even if the warrant application was supplemented by the facts defendant contends were improperly omitted from the affidavit, a judge could reasonably conclude probable cause existed; even if the officers' entry into the room was not consensual, the challenged evidence was admissible under the inevitable discovery rule; defendant knowingly and intelligently waived his Miranda rights; challenged to witness's identification of defendant from a mug shot rejected as there was not a very substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification given the witness was staying in an adjacent room and had spoken with defendant about a gun shot that came into her room from his.
