Narrative Opinion Summary
The Clerk is directed to file several documents: the appellant’s opening brief and motion for appointment of counsel, both received on August 3, 2005; the amended proof of service received on August 5, 2005; and a letter received on September 26, 2005. A review of these submissions, along with the record and the appellant's response to the October 19, 2005 order to show cause, reveals that the issues raised in the appeal lack substantial merit and do not warrant further argument, referencing the precedent set in United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982). Consequently, the district court’s judgment is summarily affirmed.
