1Opinion of the Court
Hamilton, Circuit Judge.
Defendant Steven Adams pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. In this appeal, he challenges the district court's denial of his motion to suppress and its application of the Sentencing Guidelines to his case. We affirm. Probable cause supported the search warrant for Adams' house, and in any event the officers could rely on the warrant in good faith. Further, the district court properly calculated Adams' guideline range, taking into account his prior drug conspiracy conviction.
