   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3385
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Grasz and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The evidence was sufficient 
   to support defendant's convictions for being a felon in possession of a 
   firearm and for receiving a firearm while under indictment; the district 
   court did not deny defendant his right of self-representation when it 
   denied his eve-of-the-trial request for a continuance of several months; 
   the district court had a sound basis for its decision to strike a juror 
   for cause as the juror was unable to state he would serve fairly and 
   impartially; the district court weighed the 3553(a) factors, as well as 
   the other material filed in the case, and more than adequately explained 
   the basis for its sentencing decision; the sentence imposed, a significant 
   upward variance, was not substantively unreasonable.
