221623P.pdf   03/03/2023  United States  v.  Eric Ladeaux
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1623
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Western   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Erickson, Circuit Judge, and Buescher, District Judge] Criminal case - Criminal law. Applying a plain error analysis, two South Dakota District Court Standing Orders (19-03 and 16-04) concerning a confined defendant's access and retention of sealed documents do not require reversal as the general purpose of the rules - safety of inmates and integrity of ongoing investigations - provide the good cause required under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(d); the evidence did not support defendant's request for a jury instruction on duress and coercion in this firearm possession prosecution; the evidence was sufficient to show defendant knowingly possessed a sawed-off shotgun; an argument raised for the first time in a reply brief is waived.
