   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Shepherd and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The Fourth Amendment allowed the officers to 
   enter defendant's apartment and conduct a pat down to assure their safety 
   as they investigated a report that shots had been fired from his 
   apartment; defendant consented to a protective sweep of the apartment, and 
   the shell casing the officer found was in plain view on defendant's 
   balcony, the site of the supposed shooting; defendant then admitted taking 
   a shot and told the officers where to find the handgun, thereby consenting 
   to the search and seizure.
