151546P.pdf   06/27/2016  United States  v.  Yoirlan Rojas
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1546
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Murphy and Beam, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. Assuming for the sake of argument that the district court erred by permitting a law enforcement officer to testify that use of a credit card without the owner's permission was identity theft, the error was did not affect defendant's substantial rights and was not plain error; the district court did not err in permitting the government to impeach defendant's testimony by admitting credit cards found in his wallet and by permitting rebuttal evidence from the agent in the case regarding the cards, as the court specifically instructed the jury it could only consider this evidence for the limited purpose of impeaching defendant's testimony that he did not understand credit cards and that he lacked criminal intent.
