192106P.pdf   08/06/2020  United States  v.  Luther Gilmore
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-2106
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Benton, Circuit Judge and Williams, District Judge] Criminal case - Criminal law. The instruction the district court gave on possession correctly stated the law, and the district court did not err in denying defendant's request to modify it; nor did the court err in rejecting defendant's "theory of the case" defense instruction on the ground the instructions on reasonable doubt and possession conveyed the substance of the proposed instruction; any error in the indictment and jury instructions under Rehaif v. United States, 139 S.Ct. 2191 (2019) was not plain error warranting relief; there was sufficient evidence on the knowledge-of-status element to sustain the verdict; upholding the conviction would not result in a miscarriage of justice.
