Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit August 31, 2005, Nos. 02-50494, 02-50535 (United States v. Denton)

MEMORANDUM **

Ronald Denton appeals his conviction for violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951(a) and 18 U.S.C. § 2332a(a)(2).

The indictment was not duplicitous. On its face, each count of the indictment under which Denton was convicted can be read to charge only one separate and distinct offense. See United States v. Ramirez-Martinez, 273 F.3d 903, 915 (9th Cir.2001).
