Read US v. Golinveaux, 09-1959

Defendant's conviction for being a felon in possession of seven rounds of .22 caliber ammunition while having been previously convicted of three or more violent felony offenses is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not clearly err in finding that defendant showed no signs of being under the influence and rejecting defendant's argument that she was likely under the influence at the time she gave consent to search; and 2) defendant was not so overcome by police authority or by an officer's persuasive powers as to make her consent involuntary.
