   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1887
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith and Beam, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal case. Defendant voluntarily stipulated that he lived at a residence used for marijuana distribution, and he waived his right to argue on appeal that the stipulation violated his Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights; while the district court's ruling on the admissibility of a co-conspirator's statement in the presence of the jury was error, the court took prompt curative action, including explaining its error and giving a curative instruction, and it did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant's motion for a mistrial; government did not improperly vouch for its witnesses during its closing argument.
