   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1375
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, and Erickson and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The district court did not 
   err in refusing to admit a statement made by defendant's late girlfriend, 
   as it was hearsay and did not meet the first requirement of Rule 807 - 
   that the statement have the necessary circumstantial guarantees of 
   trustworthiness; the district court did not err in imposing an enhancement 
   under Guidelines Sec. 3C1.1 based on its determination that defendant 
   committed perjury; the imposition of such an enhancement does not violate 
   a defendant's constitutional right to testify in his own defense as that 
   right does not include a right to commit perjury; defendant's sentence was 
   substantively reasonable.
