United States Seventh Circuit

A conviction for various drug and gun-related offenses is affirmed over a claim that the district court erred in denying defendant's motion for a Franks hearing to suppress incriminating evidence found in his home on the grounds that the affidavit supporting the search warrant contained false statements that were made with a reckless disregard for the truth.
