   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1673
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Benton and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Anticipatory warrant was 
   supported by probable cause as it was issued after a package containing a 
   significant quantity of methamphetamine mailed to the residence had been 
   seized by police and even if the warrant was not properly executed after 
   defendant picked up the package from the front steps and took it into the 
   residence - because that was not the triggering event described in the 
   warrant - the officers reasonably relied on the warrant to arrest 
   defendant and seize the drugs; evidence was sufficient to support 
   defendant's convictions for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and 
   possession of the drug with intent to distribute; photos of defendant 
   associating with other co-conspirators were properly admitted, as 
   defendant's mere speculation that the jury might have used the photos to 
   associate him with gang membership was not sufficient to show prejudice; 
   the district court did not err in denying defendant's request for a minor 
   role reduction. Stras, concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.
