In a Franks<\/a> challenge, the court should not look beyond the affidavit and what it shows. A CD was proffered into evidence which the court did not listen to because it went beyond the scope of the court\u2019s standard of review. United States v. Buis, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 126967 (E.D.

In reviewing the propriety of the search warrant, the Court considers “the evidence that the issuing magistrate had before him only ‘to ensure that [he] ha[d] a substantial basis … for concluding that probable cause existed.'” United States v. Jones<\/a>, 159 F.3d 969, 973 (6th Cir. 1998) (quoting Illinois v. Gates<\/a>, 462 U.S. 213, 238-39 (1983)) (alterations in original).
