   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3761
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Benton and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Batson challenge rejected as 
   the government provided race-neutral grounds for striking the juror and 
   defendant failed to show the grounds were pretexts; any error in admitting 
   evidence of uncharged conduct - defendant's harassment of the victim's 
   associate - was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of 
   defendant's guilt and did not affect defendant's substantial rights; the 
   district court erred in assessing against defendant the costs for 
   witnesses who testified before the grand jury; under the circumstances 
   presented, no error in assessing costs for a witness who attended trial 
   but did not testify; no error in requiring defendant to pay half of his 
   appointed attorney's fees after the court determined he was able to pay 
   part of the costs of his defense; no error in imposing a seven-level 
   enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 2B3.2(b)(3)(A)(i) because the weapon 
   defendant's hired "enforcer" used to intimidate the victim was discharged 
   and its discharge was reasonably foreseeable; no error in imposing a 
   four-level under Guidelines Sec. 2B3.2(b)(4)(B) because the gunshot wound 
   the victim suffered was a serious bodily injury; no error in imposing a 
   four-level enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 2B3.2(b)(1) for committing a 
   an offense involving an express or implied threat of death, injury or 
   kidnapping.
