Lugiai

MEMORANDUM *

Lugiai appeals (1) the denial of his motion to suppress the fruits of the warrantless seizure and subsequent consensual search of his residence; and (2) the application of the obstruction of justice enhancement set out in § 3C1.1 of the Sentencing Guidelines.

The marshals also reasonably concluded that allowing Ms. Lugiai to enter the house before they could obtain a search warrant — a process that was underway but not completed — would have given her the opportunity to “improperly frustrat[e] legitimate law enforcement efforts” by destroying, altering, or secreting the contraband.
