United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Clifford Braden Dodd, Defendant-appellant (three Cases), 40 F.3d 1246 (9th Cir. 1994)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 40 F.3d 1246 (9th Cir. 1994) Submitted Nov. 14, 1994. *Decided Nov. 21, 1994

Before: WALLACE, Chief Judge, GOODWIN and NORRIS, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM** 

Clifford Braden Dodd appeals his sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines for his guilty pleas conviction to three counts of bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a). Dodd contends that his due process rights were violated when the probation officer made recommendations in the presentence report concerning potential bases for departure, allegedly in violation of Fed. R. Crim. P. 32(c) (2) (B). We agree with Dodd that our recent opinion in United States v. Sifuentez, 30 F.3d 1047 (9th Cir. 1994), controls this case. As a general rule, one three-judge panel of this court cannot overrule the decision of a prior panel. United States v. Gay, 967 F.2d 322, 327 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 113 S. Ct. 359 (1992). Accordingly, the district court's decision is

AFFIRMED.

 *

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
