   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3205
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Smith, Circuit Judge, and Limbaugh,
   District Judge]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to
   support defendant's convictions for tax evasion; district court did not
   abuse its discretion by refusing to recuse itself after defendant plotted
   to have the judge arrested by the provost marshal of his "common law
   court" in an attempt to intimidate all of the judges of the district;
   claim that legal research handicaps faced by pretrial detainees
   representing themselves denied defendant due process of law rejected;
   134-month sentence was not unreasonable.
