MOTION TO SUPPRESS
EVIDENCE
Defendant.
Comes now the Defendant and for his motion to suppress evidence states:
1. On or about the 2nd day of September, 2014, the defendants residence at 207
S. 11th St., Sac City, IA was searched by law enforcement officers in Sac County,
Iowa, pursuant to a search warrant which issued at some time during the day of
August 26, 2014.
2. During the search various items of evidence as enumerated on the search
warrant return and inventory list were found.
3. There was no probable cause to believe that any criminal activity was occurring
on or about the premises at the time the warrant was issued or executed and there
was no probable cause to believe that the defendant was involved in any criminal
activity related to the issuance of the warrant.
4. The information giving rise to the issuance of the warrant referred to evidence
observed outside the residence six days before the issuance of the warrant and
12 days before the execution of the warrant.
5. The initial unwarranted search which gave rise to the warrant application and
issuance was performed without probable cause, thus tainting the warrant which
issued therefrom.
6.The warrant was stale at the time of its execution.
7. The search of the premises when there was no probable cause to believe that
the law was being violated at the time of the search and no probable cause to
believe that the defendant, Cody Emmett Lister, was engaged in criminal behavior
at the time the warrant was executed was contrary to the defendant's right to
privacy; his right to due process of law; his right to equal protection under the law
and in violation of his right to counsel and against self-incrimination, all in
violation of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments to the United States
Constitution, Article 1, Section 1, 8, 9 and 10 of the Constitution of the State of
Iowa and Chapter 808 of the Code of Iowa.

CODY EMMET LISTER,
RESPONSE TO DEFENDANTS
MOTION TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE
Defendant.
COMES NOW the State of Iowa, by the Sac County Attorney, Ben Smith,
and for its resistance to defendants motion to suppress evidence states the
following:
1.
On August 20, 2014, Chief John Thomsen of the Sac City Police
Department (SCPD) observed marijuana plant pieces and paraphernalia in

defendants garbage bags, which had been taken from defendants residence
that same morning.
2.
On August 26, 2014, based upon the foregoing, Chief Thomsen
obtained a warrant to search defendants residence. The search warrant

application at issue was filed in Case No. SWSW000232 and is attached hereto
as a secure attachment.
3.
The SCPD executed the warrant on September 2, 2014; 13 days
after the SCPD went through defendants garbage.

4.
On October 6, 2014, defendant was charged with possession of
marijuana, third offense. Defendant was formally charged with the same crime
via Trial Information on November 3, 2014.
5.
On December 17, 2014, defendant moved to suppress the
evidence seized pursuant to the search warrant, claiming probable cause to

issue the warrant was lacking because the information upon which the warrant
affidavit was based was stale.
6.
There is no fixed formula for deciding when information has
become stale; rather, courts consider the nature of the crime being investigated
and the property to be searched. United States v. Stevens, 439 F.3d 983, 988
(8th Cir. 2006). Sgro v. United States, 287 U.S. 206, 210-11, 53 S. Ct. 138, 140,
77 L. Ed. 260 (1932) (staleness depends upon the totality of the circumstances of
the case).
7.
[W]here the information presented to the issuing judge shows
ongoing drug-related activities, the passage of time is less problematic because it

is more likely that these activities will continue for some time into the future.
State v. Gogg, 561 N.W.2d 360, 367 (Iowa 1997). Whether the criminal activity
is continuous or isolated does not matter if the passage of time between the
informant's observations and the issuance of the warrant is not significant. Id.
8.
In State v. Paterno, the Iowa Supreme Court held that probable
cause existed where controlled substances were observed on a single occasion

and the search warrant was executed seven days later. State v. Paterno, 309
N.W.2d 420, 424 (Iowa 1981); Gogg at 368 (probable cause existed where
informant viewed controlled substances in premises within past six days).
9.
As Chief Thomsens search warrant affidavit makes clear, he did
not just find sticks, stems, and seeds or the remnants of a solitary marijuana
cigarette in defendants trash; he found 38 semi-dried marijuana leaves. This
find, coupled with the fact that defendant, who was only twenty-four years old at
the time, had already been convicted twice of possessing controlled substances,
demonstrated that defendant possessed, ingested, and / or processed illicit
narcotics in his residence on an ongoing basis over a number of months.
10.
Other facts considered in the totality of the circumstances
demonstrated the information giving rise to probable cause to search defendant's

residence was not stale. For example, the location of the search, defendant's
house, was not mobile. Additionally, the search authorized officers to seize not
just controlled substances, which are readily consumable in some cases, but
items that are more stable and constant in the home of a habitual drug user /
dealer, such as drug paraphernalia. United States v. Steeves, 525 F.2d 33, 38
(8th Cir. 1975) (search approximately three months after bank robbery not stale
because some tools of the crime, like a firearm, were likely to remain in
defendant's home for long period of time).
11.
While admittedly not as fresh as the first dew of the morn, the
probable cause upon which the Sac City Police Departments search warrant
was based was certainly not stale. Andresen v. State, 24 Md. App. 128, 172, 331
A.2d 78, 106 (1975) aff'd, 427 U.S. 463, 96 S. Ct. 2737, 49 L. Ed. 2d 627 (1976).
12.
Considering the totality of the circumstances, the six-day lapse of
time between Chief Thomsens observation of the marijuana leaves in

defendants trash and the issuance of the search warrant is not significant. Gogg
at 367.
WHEREFORE, based up on the foregoing, the State respectfully requests
that the Court overrule defendants motion to suppress evidence.

RULING ON MOTION TO
SUPPRESS
CODY EMMET LISTER,

Defendant.
Defendant is charged with Possession of Marijuana, a schedule I controlled

substance, third or subsequent offense, an aggravated misdemeanor. On January
7, 2015, a hearing was held on Defendants Motion to Suppress that was filed on
December 17, 2014. The Motion to Suppress is considered to be timely. The State
was represented by County Attorney Ben Smith, the Defendant was represented by
Charles Schulte. The parties stipulated to the Court reviewing the search warrant,
Motion to Suppress and Resistance to Motion to Suppress without further record.
Statement of Issues
Defendants written Motion challenged the existence of probable cause at the
time of the approval of the search warrant and the existence of probable cause at
the time of the execution of the search warrant. The State resists.
The Court has considered the arguments of the parties and the relevant
authority on the issues, and now issues this ruling.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS
The facts are not disputed. As alleged in the search warrant application, a
trash rip was conducted on August 20, 2014 from the Defendants residence. It had
been several months since the occupants of this residence placed their garbage at
the curb. Located in the trash were thirty-eight green leaves, five green stems, five
green and black seeds, a sharpie pen tube containing black residue and a Short
Staff card with the name of the Defendant. Based on the Officers experience the
items were believed to be marijuana. (The officers experience is not in question.)
The Defendants criminal history showed two convictions for possession of a
controlled substance. The officer waited six days to apply for a search warrant.
The warrant was executed seven days after the warrant was approved.
LEGAL ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS

1. Probable Cause at the time of the search warrant application
In general, trash rips may lead to the issuance of a search warrant. Controlled
substances and other indicia of drug activity, coupled with items linking the
Defendant to the items found in the trash, may supply the necessary probable cause
for a search warrant. It is reasonable to believe that drug crimes are ongoing and
protracted in nature. The application indicates it had been several months since
trash had been placed at the curb of this residence. Numerous items consistent
with the use and possession of controlled substances were found in the trash. Great
deference should be made by the Court to the probable cause determination made
by the magistrate. State v. Bishop, 387 N.W.2d 554 (Iowa 1986). The Court must
decide if the magistrate based his finding of probable cause on a substantial basis.
State v. Green, 540 N.W.2d 649 (Iowa 1995). Here, the officer found several
leaves, stems, seeds and a card with the Defendants name in the trash, leading the
officer to believe criminal activity was occurring in the home. The Court determines
the magistrates finding of probable cause was proper.
2. Probable Cause at the time of the execution of the search warrant
The requirement to timely execute a search warrant is to ensure that probable
cause still exists. It is possible that a delay in the execution would make the finding
of probable cause stale. U.S. v. Gibson, 123 F.3d 1121 (8th Cir. 1997). The Court
must consider the nature of the crime, and in this instance the crime involves
controlled substances. The nature and number of the items observed in the trash
rip support a finding of ongoing drug-related activities at the residence. The
warrant was executed seven days after it was issued. The Court finds probable
cause existed at the time of the execution of the warrant.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Defendants Motion to Suppress is
hereby denied. A pretrial conference and trial will be rescheduled by separate court
order.

RECORD OF PLEA OF GUILTY AND

SENTENCING ORDER
CODY EMMETT LISTER,

Defendant.
DATE:
February 4, 2015
CHARGE:
Possession of Marijuana, Third or Subsequent Offense, an

aggravated misdemeanor, in violation of Iowa Code 124.401(5)
Defendant has filed a written guilty plea and a waiver of Defendants right to be
present for sentencing. Defendant asks that the plea to the above charge be accepted
and that sentence be imposed pursuant to the plea arrangement agreed upon by the
parties without the formality of the record required by Rules 2.8 and 2.10 of the Iowa
Rules of Criminal Procedure.
The Court hereby informs Defendant that Defendants plea of guilty to the
above-referenced charge is accepted.
IT IS THE ORDER OF THE COURT AS FOLLOWS:
1.
Defendant is adjudicated guilty of the crime of Possession of Marijuana,
Third or Subsequent Offense, an aggravated misdemeanor, in violation of Iowa Code
124.401(5).
2.
Defendant is hereby sentenced as follows:
a.
Defendant shall pay all of the following financial obligations:
(1)
a fine in the sum of $625.00;
(2)
a 35% surcharge;
(3)
a $10.00 DARE surcharge pursuant to Iowa Code Section
911.2;
(4)
a $125.00 law enforcement initiative surcharge pursuant to
Iowa Code Section 911.3;
(5)
restitution in an amount to be determined at a later time.
The State shall file a statement of pecuniary damages within
30 days of todays date, or no restitution shall be ordered.
Upon filing of such a statement, the amount claimed in the
statement shall be considered to be ordered to be paid
unless Defendant objects to the claimed amount by filing an
objection within 10 days of the filing of the statement. In
(6)
that event, the Court shall issue an order establishing the

restitution amount, with or without a hearing as the Court
deems appropriate; and
the court costs of this action, including court-appointed
attorney fees as certified by Mr. Schulte. The Court has
determined, by information presented by the parties, that
Defendant is able to pay court-appointed attorney fees.
Defendant shall pay all financial obligations owed to the Clerk of

Court of this county or online at www.iowacourts.gov. All such
financial obligations shall be paid in full by way of a plan of
payment developed by the probation officer.
b.
Defendant shall serve sixty (60) days in the county jail, with all of
this sentence suspended. Defendant shall be given credit for time
previously served.
In compliance with Iowa Code Section 356.7, Defendant
shall pay fees as later assessed for the room and board provided to
Defendant while in the custody of the Sheriff as a result of
Defendants criminal conviction in this matter. The actual amount
assessed will be as set forth in the Room & Board Reimbursement
Claim filed with the Clerk by the Sheriff. The amount assessed
shall have the force and effect of a judgment for purposes of
enforcement. Should Defendant dispute the amount assessed,
Defendant has the right to request a hearing on that issue;
c.
As a condition of a portion of Defendants sentence being

suspended, Defendant is placed on informal probation to the Sac
County Probation Office (the Probation Supervisor) for a period of
one (1) year from the date of filing of this Order. Defendants
probation shall be on such terms and conditions that the Probation
Supervisor deems appropriate. In addition to any terms the
Probation Supervisor imposes, the Court specifically imposes all of
the following terms of probation:
(1)
Defendant shall make in-person contact with the Probation

Supervisor within seven (7) days of the filing of this Order to
sign up for probation and sign any probation supervision
agreement requested by the Probation Supervisor.
Telephone contact is not sufficient;
(2)
Defendant shall obey all laws;
d.
(3)
If Defendant becomes eligible for reinstatement of

Defendants drivers license during the term of probation,
Defendant shall take all steps necessary to obtain a valid
drivers license as soon as Defendant is eligible;
(4)
Defendant shall be employed full-time, attending school fulltime, or engaged in a full-time combination of employment
and school attendance during the period of probation;
(5)
Defendant is prohibited from consuming or possessing

alcohol or any illegal drug or any drug for which Defendant
does not have a valid prescription. In addition, Defendant is
prohibited from being at any location where alcohol or illegal
drugs are present, regardless of whether Defendant is
actually in possession of or consuming such alcohol or illegal
drugs. This prohibition does not prohibit Defendant from
being at a public location (e.g., restaurant) where alcohol is
served, so long as the primary purpose of the establishment
is not the serving of alcohol and Defendant is not consuming
or in possession of alcohol at that location;
(6)
If Defendant has not already done so, Defendant shall

undergo a substance abuse evaluation and follow any
recommendations for treatment or counseling made as a
result of the evaluation, all at Defendant's own expense. If
Defendant has not already done so, in order to provide proof
that Defendant has undergone the required evaluation,
Defendant shall procure from the substance abuse evaluator
a letter or written report which shall be filed with the Clerk
of this Court no later than 21 days from the date this Order
is filed; and
(7)
Defendant shall comply with all terms of this Order,

including paying all financial obligations and completing all
required tasks in a timely manner; and
Pursuant to Iowa Code Section 901.5(10), the Iowa Department of

Transportation (the IDOT) shall revoke Defendants drivers
license or motor vehicle operating privilege for a period of one
hundred eighty (180) days, or shall delay the issuance of a drivers
license for one hundred eighty (180) days after Defendant is first
eligible if Defendant has not been issued a drivers license. If
Defendants operating privileges are suspended or revoked at the
time of entry of this Order, the one hundred eighty-day (180-day)
revocation period shall not begin until all other suspensions or

revocations have been terminated. The IDOT shall not issue a
temporary restricted license to Defendant during the revocation
period without further order by this Court.
3.
The Court imposes this sentence because it provides for Defendants
rehabilitation and the protection of the community. The Court has considered the
sentencing recommendation of the parties.
4.
Defendant has a statutory right to appeal by filing written notice of appeal
with the Clerk of Court of this county within 30 days of the date of these proceedings.
If Defendant is unable to pay the costs of appeal, Defendant may apply to the Court for
appointment of counsel and the furnishing of a transcript of the evidence as provided in
Iowa Code Sections 814.9 and 814.11. Filing a notice of appeal within the time and in
the manner specified in Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.101 is jurisdictional and
failure to comply with these provisions shall preclude Defendants right of appeal.
5.
Appeal Bond is set in the amount of $2,500.00, cash or surety.
6.
Any cash bail posted by Defendant or on Defendants behalf by a third
party that has acknowledged or agreed that the money posted can be applied toward
Defendants financial obligations shall be applied toward Defendants financial
obligations. All cash bail remaining, if any, after payment of Defendants financial
obligations and all cash bail posted by a third party that has not acknowledged or
agreed that the money posted can be applied toward Defendants financial obligations
is hereby exonerated and shall be returned to the person posting the cash bail. All noncash bail bonds posted, if any, are hereby exonerated.
