   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2199
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Circuit Judge, Beam and Benton, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Criminal case - criminal law. Prospective juror's comments on defense 
   witness's reputation were not highly inflammatory, and trial judge's 
   curative instruction was sufficient to address the situation; district court 
   did not err in denying defendant's request for a downward departure 
   under Guidelines Sec. 2K2.1(b)(2); applying Pirani' plain error analysis, 
   defendant was not entitled to Booker relief, as he could not demonstrate a 
   reasonable probability that the district court would have imposed a lesser 
   sentence under an advisory guidelines scheme.
