   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3364
                          and No:  03-3365
   District of Minnesota   
   Criminal case - criminal law. Arresting officer had reasonable grounds 
   for conducting a Terry stop after observing what he believed to be drug 
   deals; officer had a grounds to conduct a pat down search and could seize 
   a wad of cash he touched in defendant's pocket as there was probable 
   cause to believe it was the evidence of drug dealing; officer had probable 
   cause to make arrest after finding the cash; co-defendant's absence from 
   trial did not prejudice defendant; testimony that defendant solicited a 
   witness to deal drugs was properly admitted; evidence was sufficient to 
   establish conspiracy and aiding and abetting possession with intent to 
   distribute; extraneous comment by court that seized meth would not be 
   sent back to the jury room because of its bad smell was inadvertent and 
   did not seriously affect the fairness and integrity of the trial process; 
   district court did not err in denying motion for a role-reduction.
