Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Patrick J. Berrigan, of Watson & Dameron, LLP, Kansas City, MO, appearing for the Defendant-Appellant.

Leon J. Patton, Assistant U.S. Attorney (Eric F. Melgren, United States Attorney, with him on the briefs), Kansas City, KS, appearing for the Plaintiff-Appellee.

Before SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge, McWILLIAMS, Senior Circuit Judge, and KELLY, Circuit Judge.


SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge.

Mr. William Cunningham conditionally pled guilty to one count of making, possessing, and uttering counterfeit securities (checks), in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2 and 513(a). He appeals the denial of his motion to suppress, contending the district court erred in finding that his consent to a search of his home by law enforcement officers was voluntary. We affirm on the alternative basis of the inevitable discovery doctrine.
