   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-2285
                          and No:  07-2369
   District of Nebraska - Lincoln   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Chief Judge Loken and
   Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - conviction and sentence. Protective search made during execution of arrest warrant and observation of contraband was not unreasonable. Inevitable discovery exception to exclusionary rule validated admission of evidence and, even without information from protective sweep, officers had sufficient information to obtain a search warrant. Sufficient evidence was presented to support conviction of both codefendants. District court did not abuse its discretion in admitting evidence containing pornographic images and was not so prejudicial as to produce a different verdict. District court did not clearly err in denying Pruneda 2-level reduction in offense level, as less involvement in conspiracy alone is insufficient to warrant downward adjustment. District court did not clearly err in holding Garcia-Delacruz responsible for larger drug quantity and did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Garcia-Delacruz as it did.
