   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-2974
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Colloton and Melloy, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. A delay of a few hours between a drug dog sniff and the securing of a warrant and the opening of defendant's lockboxes did not violate defendant's Fourth Amendment rights, and the court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress; the court did not err in denying defendant's motion to strike a juror who had previously corresponded with a government witness, a police officer to whom she had reported a possible crime, as the juror stated she could remain fair and would listen to the officer's testimony before deciding if she believe it; the juror's explicit statement of impartiality defeats defendant's attempt to show actual partiality; the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion to admit additional portions of a jailhouse recording as defendant failed to show how the additional portion was necessary to explain or contextualize the admitted portion, correct a misleading impression, or ensure a fair and impartial understanding.
