ORDER
The opinion filed October 15, 2001, is amended as follows:
At slip op. 14532, lines 31-32, replace "more than seven minutes and" with "some time, including the seven minute period when he was."
At slip op. 14539, line 5, insert footnote 7 after "... search."
7 Had the detention and questioning of Chavez-Valenzuela not exceeded the proper scope of the initial stop, the voluntariness of his consent to search his car would be properly addressed according to the factors set forth in United States v. Castillo, 866 F.2d 1071, 1082 (9th Cir. 1989). See also Murillo, 255 F.3d at 1175; Perez, 37 F.3d at 515.
