   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2216
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Benton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Affidavit in support of 
   search warrant was sufficient to establish probable cause to believe that 
   defendant was the bank robber in the crime and that evidence of the 
   robbery would be found in his motel rooms; defendant's numerous letters to 
   the district court did not request new counsel and the district court did 
   not err in failing to treat them as such a motion; defendant failed to 
   make a timely objection to an in-court identification and the admission of 
   the evidence would be judged under plain-error review; the error defendant 
   alleges is not plain under the current state of the law; the district 
   court did not err in barring further testimony from defendant after he 
   willfully ignored the rules despite the court's repeated warnings to 
   confine his testimony to relevant matters and avoid disruptive conduct and 
   highly inflammatory comments; the district court did not err in imposing a 
   two-level enhancement for obstruction of justice based on defendant's 
   repeated instances of misbehavior and his final outburst (which involved 
   jumping up on counsel table and yelling "this is bullshit), which the 
   court concluded was intended to cause a mistrial. Judge Kelly, concurring 
   in part and dissenting in part.
