   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2687
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bright, Author, with Murphy and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The evidence was
   sufficient to support defendant's conviction for being a felon in possession
   of a firearm; no error in admitting evidence that a crack pipe was found
   next to the weapon; while defendant suffers from a serious physical
   disability, the issue of sentencing him below the guidelines fell within the
   district court's discretion.
