United States of America v. Larry A. Jones, Jr.
21‐1293
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division. Judge Damon R. Leichty.
Criminal. Affirms the denial of Larry A. Jones Jr.’s motion to suppress a gun found and seized in his motel room that resulted in his conviction for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. Finds Jones’ consent to the search was voluntary. Also finds Jones has not satisfied his burden of showing the scope of consent did not include looking under the bed. Finally, finds nothing suggests the district court failed to properly apply the de novo standard of review to each of the magistrate judge’s proposed findings and recommendations.
