CA8: “Faint smell” of marijuana in a car is enough for a search; how do you differentiate?

The “faint smell” of marijuana in a car is enough for a search. The court declines to differentiate between faint and stronger. United States v. Smith, 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 10337 (8th Cir. June 19, 2015).

Second successive 2255 raising Fourth Amendment claim was denied. No reasonable jurist could question the prior results. United States v. Coleman, 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 10341 (10th Cir. June 19, 2015).*

Probable cause existed for a search warrant for a firearm where the CI said that defendant had an unlicensed firearm, presumptively a crime in NYC, and that defendant was going to “kill someone.” United States v. Melendez, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 78894 (S.D.N.Y. June 17, 2015).*
