   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-1299
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Western   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Officer's pre-Miranda 
   question about defendant's employment was a standard booking question, and 
   defendant's response was admissible; the district court did not err in 
   admitting evidence of defendant's 2018 visit to rival drug dealers as it 
   was relevant to defendant's actions in establishing his drug trafficking 
   organization; nor did the court commit plain error in admitting evidence 
   of a 2015 traffic stop as it was not plainly irrelevant to proving the 
   existence of a later conspiracy and defendant's knowledge and intent to 
   commit the charged offense; defendant's sentence, a downward variance, was 
   not substantively unreasonable, and his sentence did not create an 
   unwarranted disparity with a co-conspirator.
