   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1048
                          and No:  11-1162
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. In a Section 1983 action for a warrantless
   arrest, the district court correctly instructed the jury that the plaintiff 
   bore the burden of proving that she did not knowingly and voluntarily consent
   to a police officer's entry into her home and that it was objectively
   unreasonable for the officer to believe that an emergency justifying his
   entry existed; "emergency-aid-doctrine" instruction was not erroneous;
   the district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the results of
   plaintiff's preliminary breath test for the limited purpose of determining
   the reasonable of the officer's actions after the administered the test; no
   error in excluding evidence of a subsequent home-entry event involving
   the officer.
