United States v. Kim

NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MAR 18 2026 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 25-5216 D.C. No. Plaintiff - Appellee, 2:25-cr-00041-LK-1 v. MEMORANDUM* FILMORE DOYOON KIM, Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington Lauren J. King, District Judge, Presiding Submitted March 16, 2026** Before: SILVERMAN, NGUYEN, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

Filmore Doyoon Kim appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 18-month sentence for making a false statement in connection with the acquisition of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(6).

* 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).

Kim’s counsel filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), stating that there are no non-frivolous arguments for appeal. Kim has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.

In the plea agreement, Kim waived his right to appeal the conviction and sentence.

Our independent review of the record, see Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses no non-frivolous issue as to whether the appeal waiver is enforceable. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).

We therefore dismiss the appeal. See id. at 988.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.

DISMISSED.
