Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Joel Dalrymple, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Vogel, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and McDonald, JJ.  Opinion by Vogel, C.J.  (8 pages)

            Nortavis Nortez Sallis appeals his convictions and sentence for possessing cocaine as a habitual offender, possessing a firearm as a felon, and possessing marijuana as a habitual offender.  He argues the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress and abused its discretion when it admitted a photograph of a digital scale with an unknown white powder on it.  OPINION HOLDS: We find the district court properly denied Sallis’s motion to suppress, and the district court did not abuse its discretion by admitting evidence of a digital scale.
