United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Jim Duane Thorpe, Defendant-appellant, 92 F.3d 1195 (9th Cir. 1996)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 92 F.3d 1195 (9th Cir. 1996) Submitted July 29, 1996. *Decided Aug. 5, 1996

Before: HUG, Chief Judge, SCHROEDER and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM** 

Jim Duane Thorpe interlocutorily appeals the district court's denial of his motion to dismiss the indictment against him on double jeopardy grounds. We dismiss the appeal as frivolous under United States v. Washington, 69 F.3d 401, 403 n. 2 (9th Cir. 1995). Thorpe's contention that his criminal indictment violates the Double Jeopardy Clause because he had already been punished for the same conduct through prior seizure of his firearms is foreclosed by United States v. Ursery, No. 95-345, 1996 WL 340815 (U.S. June 24, 1996) and United States v. One Assortment of 89 Firearms, 465 U.S. 354 (1984).

DISMISSED.
