073902P.pdf   06/22/2009  United States  v.  Steven Kiderlen
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-3902
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Ebel,
   Circuit Judge]
Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. District court did not clearly err in finding defendant was competent to stand trial; record before the district court was sufficient to support its finding that defendant's decision to waive the right to counsel was knowing, intelligent and voluntary; evidence was sufficient to support conviction for transporting child pornography; sentence was not unreasonable, nor did it violate the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.
