U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-2275
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in
determining that while the warrant application was defective for failing
to connect the drugs involved with defendant's residence, the evidence
seized was admissible under the Leon good-faith exception; the failure of
the affidavit to recite that in the officer's judgment drug dealers often
store contraband in their homes was a technical legal deficiency, and it
was not entirely unreasonable for the officers to rely on the warrant to
search the home; defendant failed to make the necessary substantial
preliminary showing to warrant a Franks hearing.
