In a conviction of defendant for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of an unregistered firearm, district court’s denial of defendant’s motion to suppress is affirmed as, district court did not err in finding that defendant’s then-girlfriend impliedly consented to the police entries into the home shared with the defendant.
