MEMORANDUM^**

William Stephens pled guilty and was convicted of being an accessory after the fact to the theft of an automobile, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 3. The district court sentenced Stephens to twelve months' incarceration with one year of supervised release and imposed a fine of $15,870. Stephens refused to file a financial statement with the Probation Office. Stephens now appeals the fine as excessive and beyond his ability to pay.

We review sentencing on an abuse of discretion standard. United States v. Yarbrough, 852 F.2d 1522, 1545 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 109 S. Ct. 171 (1988). There is nothing in the record to indicate an abuse of discretion by the district court. Accordingly, the district court is

AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); Circuit Rule 34-4
