   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3177
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Arnold and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. District court did not err in finding
   defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to counsel when he
   asked for permission to proceed pro se at trial; district court did not err 
   in failing to compel the attendance of one of defendant's witnesses as
   defendant has failed to show that her testimony would have been
   material; Brady claim rejected; defendant failed to show that an expert on
   videotapes was necessary for his defense; no error in refusing to give
   defendant's proposed instructions on credibility and the effect of a co-
   defendant's guilty plea.
