Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Billy Cepero appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying as moot his motion to compel his former counsel to return his case file. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

The district court denied Cepero’s motion because it found that former counsel had already returned the entire case file to Cepero. We review this factual finding for clear error, see United States v. Yi 704 F.3d 800, 805 (9th Cir.2013), and the court’s denial of Cepero’s motion for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Anthony, 93 F.3d 614, 616 (9th Cir.1996). Because the record supports the district court’s finding, it did not abuse its discretion in denying Cepero’s motion.

To the extent Cepero challenges the district court’s order denying his motion for appointment of appellate counsel and the underlying January 30, 2012, judgment, we decline to consider these arguments because they are outside the scope of this appeal.

AFFIRMED.
