United States Sixth Circuit

Denial of defendant's motion for a Franks hearing and his sentence for drug-related offenses are affirmed where: 1) defendant's failure to obtain a written conditional plea was not a jurisdictional bar to the circuit court's hearing the appeal; 2) the district court did not err in holding that defendant lacked standing to contest a search of certain property; 3) even if he had standing, the denial of a Franks hearing was proper; and 4) the sentence was reasonable.
