We disagree on both fronts. The affidavit provides enough information to supply a minimal nexus between the maroon truck and the crime alleged, justifying the officer&#8217;s good-faith reliance on the probable cause determination of two judges. Because we conclude that the good-faith exception under Leon applies, the district court&#8217;s denial of the motion for a Franks hearing is also necessarily correct.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ca10.uscourts.gov\/opinions\/20\/20-5006.pdf\">United States v.
