   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Erickson, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court and magistrate judge 
   repeatedly advised defendant of the dangers of proceeding pro and offered 
   solutions to address both his and the court's concerns, and the district 
   court did not violate defendant's right to counsel by allowing him to 
   proceed pro se; the district court did nor err giving Eighth Circuit 
   Pattern Jury Instruction No. 2.23 which instructs the jury that where a 
   defendant represents himself it may only consider his testimony as 
   evidence.
