Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division. Judge Theresa L. Springmann.
Criminal. Affirms the denial of Dewayne Lewis’s motion to suppress evidence of large quantities of cash and drugs found in his hotel room tied to a drug trafficking operation. Finds Lewis lacked a reasonable expectation of privacy in the exterior hallway of his hotel, where a dog sniff occurred revealing the presence of drugs.

Concludes that because the Northern District Court correctly denied the motion to suppress, the sufficiency of the remaining evidence does not need to be assessed.
