DONALD E. JONES, JR.,
Defendant-Appellant. |
No. 21-3910 |
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio at Youngstown.

OPINION
_________________________
LARSEN, Circuit Judge. Warren, Ohio, police officers responded to a call about an
unknown disturbance at a gas station in the early morning hours. They found Donald Jones
playing loud music from his SUV in the parking lot. Jones turned off the music, and, in the 30 to
40 seconds it took the officers to drive around the store to investigate the original disturbance,
Jones drove away. The officers followed Jones, pulled him over, and told him that they had
stopped him for a noise ordinance violation. The officers then smelled marijuana and searched
the car, finding hidden compartments containing two firearms, drugs, and drug paraphernalia.
The district court denied Jones’s challenge to the admission of this evidence, and Jones was
ultimately convicted on four gun-and-drug-related counts. For the reasons stated, we AFFIRM. |

OPINION
_________________________
SCOTT W. DALES, Chief Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Judge. Although this appeal
involves what we view as a sea of red herrings, when the waters clear we base our decision upon
a litigant’s failure to meet the well-settled requirements for opposing a properly-supported
summary judgment motion. For the following reasons, the panel will affirm the Bankruptcy
Court’s judgment. |
