   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3611
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Counsel stated there was no 
   objection to the admission of an exhibit, and any argument regarding its 
   admission was waived; because trial counsel never confronted defendant's 
   prior attorney with his inconsistent statements pursuant to Rule 613(b), 
   trial counsel could not have testified at trial that the attorney had made 
   prior inconsistent statements to her, and, as a result, the district court 
   did not err in refusing to declare a mistrial sua sponte based on an an 
   argument that his current attorney had to testify; the district court did 
   not err in denying defendant's motion for a judgment of acquittal based on 
   his "public-authority" defense; the district court did not err in denying 
   defendant's untimely motions for retesting the methamphetamine seized in 
   the case; no error in imposing an obstruction-of-justice enhancement based 
   on defendant's perjury at trial; no error in denying an adjustment for 
   acceptance of responsibility where defendant went to trial, put the 
   government to its burden of proof and perjured himself at trial.
