Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Did the automobile exception to the Fourth Amendment justify the warrantless search of Petitioner's vehicle, which had in plain view only innocuous objects–i.e., cell phones and condoms–that could not have given rise to a reasonable belief that it contained evidence of sex trafficking?

2. By what standard of review should a Court of Appeals consider a District Court's denial of a Franks hearing?

3. Did the District Court violate Petitioner's constitutional right to confront witnesses against him by admitting into evidence testimonial hearsay?

4. Did the District Court commit a procedural error of law by failing to adequately consider all of the factors required for sentencing pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3553(a)?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the automobile exception to the Fourth Amendment justify the warrantless search of Petitioner's vehicle?
