   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1755
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman and Beam, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. Where FBI agents never restrained or
   handcuffed defendant, regularly reminded him that his participation was
   voluntary and repeatedly advised him he was free to leave, the district
   court did not err in finding defendant was not in custody during the
   session and that the statements he made were admissible even though he
   never received a Miranda warning; failure to Mirandize defendant before
   this first interview session did not taint subsequent interrogations;
   evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction for knowingly
   possessing and using a fraudulently obtained immigration document.
