U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
CHARLES M. WOOLSEY, No. 14-16384
Plaintiff - Appellant, D.C. No. 4:14-cv-01933-RCC
v.
MEMORANDUM*
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
Raner C. Collins, Chief Judge, Presiding
Submitted June 22, 2015**
Before: HAWKINS, GRABER, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
Charles M. Woolsey appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his
petition for a writ of error coram nobis. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291. We review the denial of a coram nobis petition de novo, see United States
v. Riedl, 496 F.3d 1003, 1005 (9th Cir. 2007), and we affirm.
*
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).
Woolsey challenges his 1974 guilty-plea conviction for possession with intent
to distribute marijuana on the ground that counsel was constitutionally ineffective.
Because Woolsey has shown no valid reason for failing to attack his conviction
earlier or an error “of the most fundamental character,” he is not entitled to a writ of
error coram nobis, and the district court properly denied relief. See id. at 1005-06.
AFFIRMED.
