Three companion cases involving other members of the Dewitt family were decided with opinions filed on November 26, 2003. Each discuss and decide the very issue upon which Robert Eugene Dewitt, Sr. now appeals. Consistent with the prior opinions of this court and upon a finding that the searches were based on Dewitt's verbal and written consent, we affirm without further opinion that the motions to suppress were properly overruled. Iowa R. App. P. 6.24. See State v. Dewitt, No. 02-1460 (Iowa Ct. App. Nov. 26, 2003); State v. Dewitt, No. 02-1379 (Iowa Ct. App. Nov. 26, 2003); State v. Dewitt, No. 02-1465 (Iowa Ct. App. Nov. 26, 2003).
On December 17, 2003, Dewitt filed a motion requesting oral argument. We deny that request as untimely. See Iowa R. App. P. 6.21(1).
