UNITED STATES v. LOUGH (2018)

Michael P. Lough pled guilty, pursuant to a conditional plea agreement, to possession of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(5)(B) (2012). The district court sentenced Lough to 37 months’ imprisonment. On appeal, Lough challenges the denial of his pretrial motion to suppress.

In United States v. McLamb, 880 F.3d 685 (4th Cir. 2018), we addressed a challenge to the same warrant at issue here and concluded that, even if the warrant violated the Fourth Amendment, the good faith exception precluded suppression of the evidence. Id. at 689-90. In light of McLamb, we conclude that the district court did not err in denying Lough’s motion to suppress.

Accordingly, we affirm the criminal judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
