United States v. Paul Blazevich

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Paul Blazevich, 463 F. App'x 700 (9th Cir. 2011)
Goodwin, Wallace, McKeown

United States v. Paul Blazevich

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Paul Blazevich appeals from the district court’s denial of his petition for a writ of audita querela, or in the alternative, his motion to terminate supervised release and reduce his fine. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Blazevich’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided the appellant with the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. The appellant has filed a pro se supplemental brief, and no answering brief has been filed.

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80-81, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. The motion for return of property, not discussed in this nor in the district court’s order, is not appropriately before us.

Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
