   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2723
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman and Loken, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court erred in suppressing a 
   firearm found during a warrantless search of defendant's home on the 
   ground defendant did not consent to the search as an officer acting with 
   objective good faith could reasonably believe that defendant had impliedly 
   invited the officers into the home by opening the door wider and stepping 
   back into the house; however, the protective sweep the officers conducted 
   was done in the absence of an arrest or reasonable suspicion that 
   dangerous persons might be present and was illegal; on remand, the 
   district court should determine whether the independent source doctrine 
   applies.
