_____________ No. 95-4080NE _____________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the District v. * of Nebraska. * Larry Heno, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellant. * _____________ Submitted: April 8, 1996 Filed: April 17, 1996 _____________ Before McMILLIAN and FAGG, Circuit Judges, and BURNS,* District Judge. _____________

PER CURIAM.

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.
