U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 24-3055

D.C. No. 2:16-cr-00007-RSM-1

Plaintiff - Appellee, v.

MEMORANDUM* LONNIE EUGENE LILLARD,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Washington

Ricardo S. Martinez, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted May 21, 2025** Before: SILVERMAN, LEE, and VANDYKE, Circuit Judges.

Lonnie Eugene Lillard appeals from the district court’s order denying resentencing in this case following this court’s remand in his related supervised release proceedings, and the amended judgment modifying the restitution order.

Lillard’s counsel filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). (1967), stating that there are no non-frivolous arguments for appeal. Lillard has filed a pro se supplemental brief.

Our independent review of the record, see Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses no non-frivolous arguments for appeal. The district court properly concluded that this court’s prior decision did not permit resentencing in the instant case. See United States v. Lillard, 57 F.4th 729, 738 (9th Cir. 2023) (“We vacate the 36-month sentence imposed for Lillard’s violation of supervised release and remand to the district court for re-sentencing in that case.” (emphasis added)). Lillard’s arguments to the contrary are unavailing.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. Lillard’s requests for appointment of new counsel and amicus curiae are denied.

Lillard’s request for remand to a different district judge is denied as moot.

AFFIRMED.
