Notice: Eighth Circuit Rule 28a(k) Governs Citation of Unpublished Opinions and Provides That They Are Not Precedent and Generally Should Not Be Cited Unless Relevant to Establishing the Doctrines of Res Judicata, Collateral Estoppel, the Law of the Case, or if the Opinion Has Persuasive Value on a Material Issue and No Published Opinion Would Serve As Well.united States of America, Appellee, v. Larry Heno, Appellant, 82 F.3d 421 (8th Cir. 1996)

Larry Heno appeals his drug-related conviction. Heno contends the district court improperly denied Heno's motion to suppress. Heno also contends exigent circumstances did not excuse the officers' no-knock entry into the residence in question. A review of the record and the parties' briefs shows the ruling of the district court was correct. Because the appeal involves the straightforward application of settled principles of law, an extended discussion of the issues will serve no useful purpose. We thus affirm Heno's conviction. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
