   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3023
   Western District of Missouri   
   Criminal case - criminal law. Defendant had a substantial property 
   interest in the van involved in a police stop and had standing to challenge 
   to search; however, on the merits, a brief stop of a loaned automobile 
   driven by a third party does not significantly impair the interests of the 
   person who lent the automobile; district court did not err in finding third 
   party validly consented to a search of the van; evidence was sufficient to 
   support drug convictions; acquittal of third party did not preclude 
   defendant's conviction on charge he conspired with and aided and abetted 
   the third party; no error in denying acceptance-of-responsibility reduction 
   where defendant pleaded not guilty and put the government to the burden 
   of proving his guilt.
