   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3661
                          and No:  22-1065
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Melloy and Kobes, Circuit Judge] Criminal case - Criminal law. 18 U.S.C. Sec. 247(a) is a legitimate exercise of Congress's power to punish offenders, like defendant, who rely on the channels and instrumentalities of commerce in committing crimes, and the district court properly rejected defendant's Commerce Clause challenge to Section 247; defendant's Section 247(a)(2) conviction in Count II of the indictment was a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. Section 924(c)(3), and his conviction in Count 4 of the indictment for carrying or using a destructive device during or in relation to a crime of violence is affirmed; in deciding whether the government violated defendant's Sixth Amendment rights when jail officers seized two pages of notes from defendant's cell during a shake down, defendant failed to show that the government knowingly intruded on the attorney-client privilege, that the government used the information in any way or that he suffered either prejudice or the substantial threat of prejudice.
