Charles Bagwell v. United States

NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JUL 18 2019 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT CHARLES BENTON BAGWELL, No. 18-35675 18-35676 Petitioner-Appellant, D.C. Nos. 1:16-cv-00264-BLW v. 1:05-cr-00174-BLW-1 1:16-cv-00265-BLW UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1:05-cr-00132-BLW-1 Respondent-Appellee. MEMORANDUM* Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Idaho B. Lynn Winmill, District Judge, Presiding Submitted July 15, 2017** Before: SCHROEDER, SILVERMAN, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges. In these consolidated appeals, Charles Benton Bagwell appeals from the district court’s judgments denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motions. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253. Reviewing de novo, see United States v. Reves, 774 F.3d 562, 564 (9th Cir. 2014), we affirm. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). In both appeals, Bagwell contends that his conviction for armed bank robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) and (d), is not a crime of violence for purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3). This argument is foreclosed. See United States v. Watson, 881 F.3d 782, 784 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 139 S. Ct. 203 (2018) (federal armed bank robbery by force and violence or by intimidation is categorically a crime of violence under the force clause of section 924(c)(3)). Moreover, contrary to Bagwell’s contention, Watson is not “clearly irreconcilable” with Stokeling v. United States, 139 S. Ct. 544 (2019). See Miller v. Gammie, 335 F.3d 889, 900 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc). In light of this disposition, we do not reach the parties’ remaining arguments. AFFIRMED. 2 18-35675
