   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2438
                          and No:  22-2439
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Melloy and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant could have inquired about the 
   racial composition of jury pools before the pre-trial motion deadline, and 
   the district court did not err in denying as untimely his post-deadline 
   motions challenging the jury pool composition; the evidence was sufficient 
   to support defendant's conviction for assault under 18 U.S.C. Secs. 111, 
   1114 as a reasonable jury could have found that the jail officer defendant 
   assaulted was assisting the U.S. Marshals in its duty to provide for the 
   safekeeping of federal detainees; the jury instructions on assault were 
   not erroneous; evidence of defendant's arrest for selling heroin was 
   probative of his participation in the charged conspiracy and was properly 
   admitted.
