181636P.pdf   08/23/2019  United States  v.  Alfredo Valquier
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1636
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Colloton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal Case - conviction. Valquier arrived at house during a search and 
   gave his name to an officer and "kind of hung his head" in response to an 
   officer's question prior to receiving Miranda warning. District court did 
   not plainly err in failing to suppress Valquier's pre-Miranda statements 
   and actions; although it was error for officer to testify regarding 
   Valquier's statement and action because he was in custody and being 
   interrogated, the error did not affect substantial rights in light of 
   other evidence at trial. Confrontation Clause challenges posed no 
   reasonable probability of altering the outcome of the trial and were not 
   plain error.
