Description
Defendant-Appellant Lorenzo Zubia-Melendez appeals the district court's denial of his motion to suppress evidence seized from his vehicle following a traffic stop and subsequent search of his vehicle. After the district court denied the motion, Appellant entered a conditional guilty plea on one count of possession with intent to distribute more than 5 kilograms of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §841(a)(1). Appellant argues on appeal that the traffic stop preceding the search was not supported by probable cause, that the questions asked by the officer were not reasonably related to the purpose of the traffic stop, and that Appellant did not freely and voluntarily consent to the search of his car. Exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1291, we AFFIRM.
