   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2976
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Gruender and Stras, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The district court did not clearly err when it found defendant's son entered the family house without closing the door; the knock-and-announce rule does not apply when officers enter a home through an open door; officer had a felony arrest warrant for defendant and a reasonable belief that he was present in the home, and his entry into the home was reasonable; no error in applying an enhancement of justice based on the court's conclusion that defendant gave false testimony at the suppression hearing; the district court did not abuse its discretion by sentencing defendant to the statutory maximum of 120 months when the recommended Guidelines sentence was 235 to 293 months.
