123134P.pdf   09/23/2013  United States  v.  Javier Amaya
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3134
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Beam and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in granting 
   defendant's motion for a new trial based on its determination that a 
   verdict form error (lack of a box for the jury to check guilty or not 
   guilty with respect to a money laundering count) and the substitution of a 
   polling procedure for a return of the verdict constituted plain error. 
   Judge Beam, dissenting
