RDJ JOHNSON, J., DISSENTS WITH REASONS

Considering the great deference afforded to the district court when

interpreting an affidavit, I find that the district court did not err in granting the

Respondent, defendant Erick Garrison’s, motion to suppress evidence where

Detective Joseph E. Herman’s affidavit is facially deficient in establishing the

requisite nexus between the information sought and Garrison’s Instagram account.

Thus, I respectfully dissent and would deny the writ.
