United States v. Anderson

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Anderson, 256 F. App'x 85 (9th Cir. 2007)

United States v. Anderson

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

James Michael Anderson appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and the 72-month sentence imposed for two counts of armed bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a), (d). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Anderson contends that the district court violated Fed.R.Crim.P. 32(i)(3)(B) by failing to resolve a factual dispute regarding the Presentence Report. We disagree. The district court did not use the disputed facts to increase the length of Anderson’s sentence. See United States v. Saeteurn, 504 F.3d 1175, 1180-81 (9th Cir. 2007).

Anderson also contends that the district court clearly erred by denying him a downward adjustment for acceptance of responsibility pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1. We disagree. Anderson’s contrition is outweighed by his pre-trial absconding and the district court did not clearly err in concluding that this was not an “extraordinary case” in which both obstruction of justice and acceptance of responsibility adjustments applied. See United States v. Thompson, 80 F.3d 368, 371 (9th Cir. 1996).

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
