United States v. Chavez Loya

SHEPHERD, Circuit Judge.

Noe Gustavo Chavez Loya (“Loya”) was indicted on one count of knowingly and intentionally possessing “list I chemicals [ephedrine and pseudoephedrine], knowing and having reasonable cause to believe the list I chemicals would be used to manufacture ... methamphetamine.” See 18 U.S.C. § 2; 21 U.S.C. § 841(c)(2). Loya moved to suppress evidence seized during a vehicle search. The district court 1 denied the motion, and Loya pled guilty to the charge while reserving his right to appeal the suppression issue. Loya now raises that issue on appeal. We affirm.
