UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JUN 8 2020
MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 18-10468
Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. No.
2:10-cr-00091-KJD-GWF-1
v.
BARBARA JEAN DENNIS, MEMORANDUM*
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Nevada
Kent J. Dawson, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted June 2, 2020**
Before: LEAVY, PAEZ, and BENNETT, Circuit Judges.
Barbara Jean Dennis appeals from the district court’s amended judgment and
challenges the $10,000 fine imposed following her guilty-plea conviction for
bankruptcy fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 157(1). Pursuant to Anders v.
California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), Dennis’s counsel has filed a brief stating that
*
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).
there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of
record. Dennis has filed two pro se opening briefs, both of which the court has
considered. No answering brief has been filed.
Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S.
75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
Dennis’s pro se motions, as supplemented by her exhibit, to terminate
counsel and appoint new counsel, and to strike all documents filed by appointed
counsel, are DENIED. Dennis’s further request that the court order an audio file
of the November 20, 2018, district court hearing is DENIED. Dennis’s motions
for a 60-day extension of time to file the pro se supplemental brief are denied as
moot.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
