MEMORANDUM*

Marianne Evidente Dulana appeals the Appellate Division of the District of Guam's affirmance of her conviction of two counts of murder with special allegations of possession and use of a deadly weapon in violation of 9 G.C.A. §§ 16.40(a)(1), (a)(2) and (b), and 80.37. Dulana contends that she received ineffective assistance of trial counsel. "We review de novo decisions of the Appellate Division." Guam v. Cepeda, 69 F.3d 369, 371 (9th Cir.1995). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 48 U.S.C. § 1424-3(c), and we affirm for the reasons stated in the Appellate Division's opinion filed on October 1, 1996.

AFFIRMED.
