   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-3325
                          and No:  05-1291
   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Heaney and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Officers' intrusion into
   the curtilage of defendant Watson's home was limited and reasonably
   necessary to further a legitimate law enforcement purpose, and the
   district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress 
   evidence the officers found in plain view; in second search, the 
   searching officer reasonably believed a third person had authority 
   to consent to the search of the home; error in imposing a mandatory 
   guidelines sentence on Watson was not harmless error; however, based 
   on the available record, the court cannot determine whether the district 
   court properly considered the Section 3553(a) factors in reaching its 
   alternative sentence, and the matter must be remanded for resentencing; 
   the evidence was sufficient to support defendant Woodard's conspiracy 
   convictions; defendant Woodard did not qualify for safety valve sentencing 
   as she did not testify truthfully.
