081680P.pdf   03/26/2009  United States  v.  Fred Green
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1680
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Beam and Arnold, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. Protective sweep was an objectively
   reasonable step to secure office safety, and items seen and seized during
   the sweep were admissible; officer had probable cause to seize a bag
   when he observed what he believed were drugs sticking out of the bag;
   assuming without deciding that plain error review is required for
   defendant's issue regarding the propriety of the prosecutor's closing
   arguments, the comments were improper, but the district court gave
   curative instructions, and the court's failure to declare a mistrial sua
   sponte was not plain error.
