   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-2835
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Shepherd, 
   Circuit Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Any Confrontation Clause violation in 
   admitting an exhibit containing a translation of recorded calls in the 
   absence of testimony from the actual translator was harmless beyond a 
   reasonable doubt given the other evidence in the case; admission of the 
   exhibit, which contained translations of parts of the conversations, did 
   not violate Rule 106 as defendant failed to identify any other portions of 
   the conversations which should have been translated even though he had the 
   entire recording and time to obtain his own translation; permitting an FBI 
   linguist to testify under a pseudonym did not violate defendant's 
   Confrontation Clause rights as his attorney was given the linguist's real 
   name and defendant had the information needed to cross-examine the witness 
   regarding his qualifications and experience; evidence was sufficient to 
   support defendant's conviction for food stamp fraud.
