   Southern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]

   defendant's motion to exclude the government's evidence under 8 U.S.C. 
   Sec. 1367(a) which places certain restrictions on the use of information 
   about battered alien spouses; the language of the statute is clear that it 
   applies only to proceedings to determine immigration status and does not 
   apply to use of the information in criminal proceedings.
