142681P.pdf   06/05/2015  United States  v.  Daryl Warren
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-2681
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge, and Harpool, 
   District Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to 
   show defendant had not been entrapped as the evidence showed the 
   government simply offered defendant an opportunity to commit a crime and 
   he eagerly embraced it; claim that the use of a fictitious 
   drug-house-robbery scheme was outrageous government conduct had not been 
   raised in a pre-trial motion to dismiss and was waived; no error in 
   admission of evidence of prior convictions under Rule 404(b); Batson 
   challenges rejected; sentencing entrapment claim rejected; cursory 
   assertion of an argument in the opening brief is insufficient under FRAP 
   28(a)(8)(A) to preserve an issue for appellate review.
