182600P.pdf   08/21/2019  United States  v.  Orlando Dones-Vargas
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2600
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Kelly and Erickson, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Undisclosed payments to a cooperating 
   witness were not material to the outcome of the case, and the district 
   court did not err in denying defendant's motion for a new trial based on 
   the government's failure to disclose them; nondisclosure of the relatively 
   small payments in these circumstances, when considered against the 
   backdrop of the government's substantial case, does not undermine 
   confidence in the jury's verdict; the impeachment evidence was not 
   material and the defendant has not established a violation of the Due 
   Process Clause.
