United States Ninth Circuit

A conviction for willful failure to file tax returns and a decision refusing to allow an individual to proceed pro hac vice as defendant's attorney are affirmed in part as to the conviction, and the appeal dismissed, where: 1) orders declining to allow the individual to represent defendant pro hac vice did not violate defendant's constitutional right to counsel; and 2) because the orders did not clearly and intentionally sanction the attorney at issue, he lacked standing to appeal in his own right.
