Officers used a drug dog to sniff the front door of defendant\u2019s house and he moved to suppress. The trial court denied the motion, and he was convicted. While on appeal, Jardines was decided, and it controls. While normally a dog sniff is not a search, it is when the curtilage is involved. Removing that unconstitutionally obtained information from the affidavit for search warrant leaves no probable cause. McClintock v. State<\/a>, 405 S.W.3d 277 (Tex. App. \u2013 Houston (1st Dist.) 2013).<\/p>\n

The merits of the search issue was decided on defendant\u2019s direct appeal. On his 2255 he argues it a slightly different way, but he clearly could not prevail so the certificate of appealability (COA) is denied. United States v. Hunter<\/a>, 527 Fed. Appx. 796 (10th Cir. 2013).*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
