Question presented

I. Mr. Whiteside moved to suppress the evidence related to the firearms because the affidavit did not establish a nexus. Did the district court improperly deny suppression and did the appellate court improperly affirm the district court? II. Mr. Whiteside’s home was unreasonably search when officers relied on an unsigned search warrant and there was no constitutional rationale that supported the officer’s actions. Did the district court improperly deny suppression and did the appellate court improperly affirm the district court?
