United States v. Matthews, No. 13-3047 (D.C. Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant, convicted of unlawful possession with intent to distribute fifty grams or more of methamphetamine, appealed from the district court's judgment sentencing him to a period of incarceration, followed by supervised release. The court held that it need not decide the sufficiency of the affidavit at issue because the exclusionary rule was inapplicable to the fruits of the search under United States v. Leon. Further, the district court did not err in refusing to hold an evidentiary hearing under Franks v. Delaware. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
