in the package to be

triggered. Within a few minutes, though, Ramirez was spotted exiting the

apartment, walking around to the front of the apartment, looking

around, and then returning inside. A woman was observed leaving the

apartment around the same time. Several minutes later, Ramirez again

came out of the apartment, taking a bag of trash to a dumpster. Shortly

after that, Ramirez departed from the apartment a third time and began

walking toward downtown Waterloo.

      Two HSI agents followed Ramirez and detained him. Ramirez was

later placed under arrest and Mirandized.      When questioned, Ramirez

denied knowing anything about the package even when confronted with

the facts that he had signed for it and his name and phone number were

listed on the package.

    agent Stephen

Allen was admitted into evidence without objection.                  The photographs

depicted the package both as it arrived to the HSI office in Cedar Rapids

and later as it appeared in the apartment when the search warrant was

executed.

       After Allen finished testifying, Ramirez’s counsel informed the

court that out of the approximately twenty or twenty-five photographs

contained on the disk, and shown to the jury, Ramirez had received only

three of them on the zip file emailed to his counsel as part of the

prosecution’s pretrial disclosures. Ramirez claimed that his inability to

review the remaining photographs before trial had put him at a

disadvantage and moved for a mistrial.
