   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1053
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Stras, and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The evidence was sufficient to support 
   defendant's conviction for distribution of a controlled substance 
   resulting in serious bodily injury and conspiracy to distribute a 
   controlled substance; no error in admitting "prior acts" evidence under 
   FRE 404(b) as the evidence of past drug transactions and defendant's 
   knowledge of a prior drug overdose resulting from his distribution met all 
   of the requirements for admission; no error in admitting evidence of 
   defendant's prior felony aggravated assault conviction under FRE 609 as it 
   went to defendant's credibility as a witness.
