Under the facts of this case, the court concludes that there was probable 20 cause to search the vehicle for illegal drugs in light of the two occupants' divergent 21 stories about their time visiting Colorado, their \"extreme\" nervousness, the strong odor 22 of raw marijuana coming from the vehicle, and a drug-sniffing dog's alert.
