Affirmed
In prosecution on drug and firearm offenses, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion to suppress arising out of seizure of drugs and firearms from defendant’s home, where defendant alleged that he did not give officer verbal permission to enter his home. Record showed that after officer made request to enter defendant’s home, defendant stepped back and to side and let door open, such that officer could properly view defendant’s actions as giving him implied consent to enter his home.
