1Opinion of the Court
ROBERT M. PARKER, Circuit Judge:
Robert Andrew Cantu was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment after pleading-guilty to a charge of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841. He appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to suppress evidence discovered pursuant to a search of his home. The sole issue before this court is whether the district court erred in denying Mr. Cantu’s motion to suppress evidence obtained after the officers failed to announce their presence and purpose when attempting forcible entry of Mr. Cantu’s home.
