United States v. Hall

NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MAY 28 2025 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 24-6027 D.C. No. Plaintiff - Appellee, 1:22-cr-00150-DLC-2 v. MEMORANDUM* DOMINIC EARL HALL, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Montana Dana L. Christensen, District Judge, Presiding Submitted May 21, 2025** Before: SILVERMAN, LEE, and VANDYKE, Circuit Judges. Dominic Earl Hall appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 120-month sentence for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Hall’s counsel filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), * 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). stating that there are no non-frivolous arguments for appeal. Hall has not filed a pro se supplemental brief. In the plea agreement, Hall 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. 2 24-6027
