   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-3124

                          and No:  02-3533
   District of Minnesota   
Criminal Case- criminal law. District court did not clearly err in granting two, rather than three, level reduction for acceptance of responsibility for defendant who pleaded guilty after first day of trial. Denial of minor-role reduction for codefendant was not clear error. District court did not abuse its discretion in denying motion for continuance to depose witness. A photo lineup was not unduly suggestive and did not improperly taint the in-court identification. District court did not abuse its discretion in permitting codefendants to assert their privilege against self incrimination at codefendants trial. District court did not err in denying an evidentiary hearing as to one codefendant's testimony exonerating another codefendant. Dissent in part by Judge Bright.
