U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-1958
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Defendant did not have an
automatic right to advance disclosure of the government's witnesses and
he has failed to show that the failure to disclose a witness caused him
substantial prejudice; as a result, the district court did not err in denying
his motions to strike the witness's testimony or declare a mistrial;
defendant's Minnesota convictions for third-degree burglary were violent
felonies for sentencing purposes, and the district court did not err in
finding defendant was subject to the 15-year minimum sentence set out in
18 U.S.C. Sec. 924.
