United States v. Lorenzo Rivera Reyes
Opinion
After he was convicted of drug-trafficking and money-laundering conspiracies, Lorenzo Rivera Reyes was sentenced to seventy-eight months in prison and four years supervised release. He appeals the district court’s 1 denial of his pretrial motion to suppress evidence seized from his home pursuant to a search warrant.
Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ submissions on appeal, we agree with the district court that the warrant to search Reyes’s residence in Brownsville, Texas, was based upon a sufficient showing of probable cause and, alternatively, that the subsequent warrant search was valid under the good faith rule of United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897, 104 S.Ct. 3405, 82 L.Ed.2d 677 (1984). Ac *23 cordingly, Reyes’s suppression motion was properly denied. See United States v. Smith, 266 F.3d 902, 904 (8th Cir. 2001) (standard of review).
The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
