United States v. William E. Magness

HEANEY, Circuit Judge.

William E. Magness appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress both evidence obtained during the search of his residence and his confession. Magness entered a conditional plea of guilty to thirteen counts of possession of a destructive device in violation of 26 U.S.C. §§ 5841, 5861(d), and 5871, and reserved his right to appeal the court’s denial of his motion to suppress. On appeal, he argues that he was arrested without probable cause and that both his confession and his consent to the search of his residence were involuntary. We affirm.
