United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction for bank robbery involving the use of a firearm is affirmed where the district judge did not clearly err in concluding that, under the totality of the circumstances, defendant's consent to search his home and vehicle was voluntary, and the admission of dog-handler testimony regarding the behavior of a search dog was harmless error.
