Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Before WOLLMAN, RILEY, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
[UNPUBLISHED]
Kenneth Redd appeals the district court's denial of his Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33 motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence. We find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Redd's motion, as the evidence that Redd submitted was available before his trial, and was not relevant to the issues in his suppression motion or his trial. See United States v. Grover, 511 F.3d 779, 783 (8th Cir. 2007) (standard of review; requirements to justify new trial under Rule 33).
The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. We also grant counsel's motion to with draw and deny Redd's motion for appointment of new counsel.
