213031P.pdf   08/23/2022  United States  v.  Christopher Hay
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3031
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Benton, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The affidavit provided in support of the 
   search application for defendant's home relied, in part on a confidential 
   ATF Bulletin which defined fuel filter firearm silencers, and that 
   Bulletin, rather than attempting to change 18 U.S.C. Sec. 921(a)(24), 
   merely informed law enforcement of items that qualified as firearm 
   silencers under the law as it already exists; even if the affidavit failed 
   to establish probable cause to believe evidence of the offense would be 
   found at defendant's residence, the officers were not entirely 
   unreasonable in their belief that the warrant was supported by probable 
   cause and the Leon good faith exception applied.
