164519P.pdf   12/12/2017  United States  v.  Curlie Quarterman
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-4519
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. The government appeals a suppression order. Held: the officers' warrantless entry to defendant's apartment was justified by a legitimate and objectively reasonable concern for the safety of the officers and a third person present in the apartment; once inside the apartment, the exigencies of the situation justified the officers' action in ordering defendant to stand and turn around; when they saw a gun on his hip, the officers acted reasonably in seizing it; if officers have an objectively reasonable basis that some immediate action is required to preserve the safety of others or themselves, they do not also need probably cause; the district court's suppression is reversed.
