   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2708
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Smith and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. Based on the facts known to the defendant
   officers, it was reasonable for them to conclude that their warrantless
   entry into plaintiff's home was lawful under either the emergency aid
   exception or the community caretaker exception, and the district court did
   not err in granting their motion for summary judgment based on qualified
   immunity; as the officers' entry was lawful, their brief detention of plaintiff
   was also lawful.
