No. 20-10871
Jones argues that the search warrant affidavit omitted material facts and that it lacked indicia of probable cause that contraband would be found at his residence.
Reviewing the district court’s factual findings for clear error and legal conclusions de novo, United States v. Cavazos, 288 F.3d 706, 709 (5th Cir. 2002), we hold that the affidavit provided sufficient facts to support the issuance of the warrant and that any omissions or misrepresentations therein were not material to the finding of probable cause. See United States v. Davis, 226 F.3d 346, 351 (5th Cir. 2000); United States v. Satterwhite, 980 F.2d 317, 321 (5th Cir. 1992).
Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
