7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Jesse D. Featherly

Case No.:15-3854

Officials: BAUER, FLAUM, and KANNE, Circuit Judges

Focus: Motion to Quash –Search Warrant – Court Error

Jesse Featherly challenges the denial of his motion to quash the search warrant that led to the discovery of child pornography on his computer. Featherly contended that the government secured the warrant by making an intentionally false statement on the warrant application. The district court disagreed, and Featherly pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography. Because the court did not clearly err in concluding that there was no intentionally false statement and that probable cause supported the warrant, we affirm.
