   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1421
                          and No:  20-1519
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Gruender and Erickson, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. The evidence was sufficient to show beyond a reasonable doubt that the drugs defendant Phillips distributed were the sole cause of serious bodily injury to two subsequent users; evidence was sufficient to support Cathey's convictions for conspiracy and distribution of drugs resulting in serious injury or death; no error in admitting hearsay statement from co-conspirator; court's remedy to correct any possible violation of the sequestration order was not an abuse of its discretion; the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that the NCIC records admitted to establish Cathey's prior convictions were sufficient to prove the convictions for sentencing purposes.
