202801P.pdf   08/16/2021  United States  v.  Daeron Merrett
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2801
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Erickson, 
   Circuit Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Even if the court excuses 
   defendant's waiver of his claim concerning denial of his request for 
   disclosure of co-conspirator statements, the magistrate judge properly 
   recognized the burden the request would place on the government, as well 
   as the option of other trial procedures, and it did not abuse its 
   discretion in denying the motion; no error in denying defendant's request 
   for a buyer-seller instruction; in prosecution for being a felon in 
   possession of a firearm, Rehaif did not require an instruction that 
   defendant knew he was forbidden by law to possess a firearm; defendant's 
   sentence was not substantively unreasonable.
