Annotate this Case

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 67 F.3d 309 (9th Cir. 1995) Submitted Sept. 18, 1995. *Decided Sept. 29, 1995

Before: BROWNING, GOODWIN, and O'SCANNLAIN, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM^**

Wilburn Wayne Buck appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction to methamphetamine distribution and possession of an unregistered firearm. Buck contends the district court erred by failing to strike a paragraph of the presentence report which stated that a jail inmate said that Buck had sent out threats regarding government informants "who set him up." We reject this argument because the district court expressly stated that it would not rely upon the contested paragraph in sentencing Buck. See United States v. Houtchens, 926 F.2d 824, 828 (9th Cir. 1991) (district court's statement that alleged inaccuracies in presentence report would not "affect the sentencing in this matter," complies with requirements of Fed. R. Crim. P. 32(c) (3) (D)). Accordingly, the district court 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
