   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2403
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil Commitment - 18 U.S.C. Sec. 4246. The court lacked jurisdiction to 
   consider the denial of Becerra's motion to proceed pro se, because he 
   failed to seek the district court's review of the magistrate judge's 
   ruling; the district court did not err in relying, among other things, on 
   Becerra's criminal history in determining he presented a substantial risk 
   of bodily injury to others if released; the district court did not err in 
   determining that Becerra suffered from a mental disease or defect, that he 
   would be dangerous if released, that there was a direct causal nexus 
   between his mental disease and his dangerousness, and that no other 
   suitable state placement existed.
