United States v. Temple

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION APR 15 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 05-50120 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 02-cr-00344-AHS v. JOHN WALTER TEMPLE, MEMORANDUM * Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Alicemarie H. Stotler, District Judge, Presiding Submitted April 5, 2010 ** Before: RYMER, McKEOWN, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges. John Walter Temple appeals from the restitution order imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for mail fraud and aiding and abetting, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2 and 1341. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). we affirm. Temple contends the district court erred by failing to acknowledge its discretion under 18 U.S.C. § 3664(h) to apportion liability between Temple and his co-defendant. The record shows that the district court did not err in this regard. See United States v. Booth, 309 F.3d 566, 576 (9th Cir. 2002); see also United States v. Mills, 991 F.2d 609, 611-12 (9th Cir. 1993). Further, the district court did not abuse its discretion by holding Temple jointly and severally liable with his co- defendant for the total amount of restitution. See Booth, 309 F.3d at 576; see also § 3664(h). AFFIRMED. 2 05-50120
