Annotate this CaseDefendant conditionally pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing cocaine. On appeal, defendant challenged the district court's denial of his motions to suppress evidence. The court concluded that the district court correctly held that the traffic stop at issue was reasonable in scope and duration and that defendant was lawfully seized for a traffic violation when the dog sniff occurred. The court also concluded that the district court correctly held that the dog was sufficiently reliable and that his positive alert provided probable cause for the search of defendant's vehicle. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
