   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1563
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Melloy, 
   Circuit Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The threat statements defendant made to 
   attorneys assigned to assist him in a pro se referral program for civil 
   litigation were not protected by the attorney-client privilege as threats 
   to commit violent acts against the alleged victims are not communications 
   made in order to obtain legal advice; the evidence was sufficient for a 
   jury to find that defendant made a true threat of future violence against 
   the federal judge who had ruled in his civil suit; no error in the 
   instructions given on counts of threatening to murder a federal judge or 
   interstate transmission of a threat to injure - see U.S. v. Wynn, 827 F.3d 
   778 (8th Cir. 2016);cumulative error argument rejected.
