U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-4184
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Riley and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - suppression. A protective sweep of the inside of the house
while defendant was safely secured outside on the porch was reasonable
under the circumstances, lasted only two minutes, and was confined to
places large enough to hide a person. The protective sweep of the
residence passed constitutional muster and the fruits of that valid sweep
are untainted. The district court did not clearly err in denying motion to
suppress.
