Description

During a canine search of Appellant-Defendant John Cervine's vehicle, conducted after a stop for a traffic violation, Missouri Highway Patrol troopers discovered marijuana and methamphetamine. Mr. Cervine pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to manufacture and distribute a controlled substance, in violation of 21 U. S. C. § 846 and 18 U. S. C. § 2, and one count of possessing, with the intent to distribute, approximately 53.2 grams of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U. S. C. § 841(a)(1) and 18 U. S. C. § 2. In his plea agreement, Mr. Cervine reserved the right to appeal the district court's ruling on his motion to suppress the evidence obtained from the traffic stop of his truck and from his subsequent questioning. The district court denied the motion, finding that the troopers' conduct did not violate the Fourth Amendment. We exercise jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U. S. C. § 1291 and AFFIRM.
