U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 878 F.2d 1439 (9th Cir. 1989)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,v.Arnulfo BONILLAS, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 87-1257.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted June 26, 1989.* Decided July 10, 1989.

Before WALLACE, POOLE, and K.K. HALL, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM** 

While under indictment for certain drug offenses, Bonillas purchased firearms from a firearms dealer. Pursuant to a valid search warrant, government officials searched the defendant's home and recovered a number of weapons.

Bonillas was charged in an eleven count indictment with various weapons related offenses. Pursuant to an agreement, he pled guilty to Count Four, which charged him with knowingly receiving a firearm which had been shipped in interstate commerce while he was under indictment for a crime punishable by a term exceeding one year in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(n) and 924(a). In exchange, the government agreed to dismiss the remaining ten counts and to recommend that his sentence run concurrently with any sentence imposed in the drug case.

Subsequently, defendant was convicted of the drug charges. On the weapons conviction he received a five year sentence, the maximum term authorized by statute, to run concurrently with the sentence imposed for the drug offenses.

Bonillas timely filed a notice of appeal of his conviction and sentence under 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(n) and 924(a). He challenges his conviction on the drug offenses in a separate appeal. The appellant's appointed counsel has submitted an Anders brief stating that he has reviewed the record and finds no appealable issues. Upon review of the record, we agree with counsel that the district court committed no error in accepting defendant's plea and sentencing him within the statutory limits.

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case appropriate for submission without oral argument pursuant to Ninth Circuit Rule 34-4 and Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)
