   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-3774
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [John R. Gibson, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and
   Murphy, Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. District court did not err
   in dismissing count in the indictment without prejudice following a
   technical violation of the Speedy Trial Act; claim that post-indictment
   delay violated the Speedy Trial Act rejected; affidavit supplied probable
   cause for issuance of a warrant to search defendant's residence and
   person, and the district court did not err in denying defendant's request
   for a Franks hearing; district court did not err in denying defendant's
   request to present a justification defense to the offense of being a felon
   in possession of a firearm; district court did not err in allowing the
   government to impeach defendant with prior convictions for aggravated
   robbery and a drug crime as defendant was the first to introduce the
   matters into evidence; given district court's in camera review of the
   police officer's investigative file and its conclusion the file contained
   nothing relevant to the defense, the court's refusal to order disclosure
   of the file did not violate defendant's confrontation rights; no error in
   giving instruction on flight at time of arrest; evidence was sufficient to
   support conviction on drug charge; no error in sentencing defendant as a
   career offender; district court gave proper consideration to the 3553(a)
   factors and did not impose an unreasonable sentence.
