   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-4479
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Arnold, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Defendant voluntarily and 
   knowingly waived his rights under Rule 410, and the district court did not 
   err in admitting statements from defendant's withdrawn guilty plea; the 
   district court did not err in denying defendant's motion for a mistrial 
   after a juror stated she believed a defense witness had followed her from 
   the courthouse as the court conducted a proper inquiry into the incident, 
   the juror indicated the incident would not affect her impartiality and the 
   court gave a curative instruction to the jury; defendant's Texas 
   conviction for second-degree robbery was a violent felony under the force 
   clause of the Armed Career Criminal Act and a crime of violence under the 
   guidelines as it requires at least as much violent force as required by 
   Johnson; as defendant had the required three prior convictions for a 
   violent felony or a serious drug offense, he was properly sentenced as a 
   career offender.
