United States v. Coppola

257 F. App'x 1

Opinions

MEMORANDUM

**

Joseph Coppola’s Faretta waiver was invalid because the court failed to ensure that he understood the possible penalties he faced at the time of the waiver. See United States v. Erskine, 355 F.3d 1161, 1167 (9th Cir.2004).

This court therefore REVERSES and REMANDS for a new trial.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
