NOT FOR PUBLICATION
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT NOV 16 2009
MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 07-16706
Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. Nos. CV-07-00250-DCB
CR-74-00233-DCB
v.
JORGE ALBERT ESTRELLA-MOLINA, MEMORANDUM *
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
David C. Bury, District Judge, Presiding
Argued and Submitted November 3, 2009
San Francisco, California
Before: HUG, RYMER and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.
Jorge Albert Estrella-Molina appeals the district court’s denial of his Motion
to Clarify Sentence, or in the Alternative, Petition for Writ of Error Coram Nobis
to Vacate Judgment as well as the district court’s denial of his motion to
reconsider. We affirm.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Judge Marquez’s decision makes no mention of the Federal Youth
Corrections Act provision for discharging an offender’s probation. Therefore, the
district court’s finding that Judge Marquez did not intend to set aside Estrella-
Molina’s conviction was not clearly erroneous, and the district court did not err by
denying Estrella-Molina’s motion to clarify his sentence. See, e.g., United States v.
Dickie,
752 F.2d 1398, 1400 (9th Cir. 1985) (per curiam).
The district court also did not err in denying Estrella-Molina’s petition for a
writ of coram nobis. To warrant issuance of the writ, an error must have been of
“the most fundamental character.” United States v. Riedl,
496 F.3d 1003, 1006
(9th Cir. 2007). In reviewing a district court’s denial of the writ, findings of fact
must be upheld unless they are clearly erroneous. Hirabayashi v. United States,
828 F.2d 591, 594 (9th Cir. 1987). As stated above, the district court did not err in
finding that Judge Marquez did not intend to set aside Estrella-Molina’s
conviction. Therefore, Estrella-Molina has not identified any error, let alone an
error of the most fundamental character.
AFFIRMED.
