Des Moines, March 17, 2016— On Thursday, April 14, the Iowa Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Clinton, Iowa. The proceeding will take place in the Clinton High School Auditorium, 817 8th Avenue South. The oral arguments are open to the public and will begin at 7 p.m.
The court will hear attorneys argue in the following case:
State of Iowa v. Mar'yo D. Lindsey, Jr.
The defendant seeks further review from the Iowa Supreme Court after the Iowa Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction for possession of a firearm as a felon, carrying weapons on school grounds, going armed with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a controlled substance. Appellant contends that after he was injured in a high school football game, school officials conducted an unreasonable search and seizure of his school-issued football equipment bag constituting an unreasonable search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment in violation of defendant's constitutional rights.
Attorneys' briefs for the case, the court of appeals decision, and a guide to oral arguments are posted on the Iowa Judicial Branch website at: /About_the_Courts/Supreme_Court/Offsite_Oral_Arguments_Clinton/index.asp .
