UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Brenda Robertson FINE, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 03-10760.

Conference Calendar

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

April 21, 2004.

Mark L. Nichols, Assistant US Attorney, US Attorney’s Office, Amarillo, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Brenda Robertson Fine, Fort Worth, TX, pro se.

Before JOLLY, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.*

Brenda Robertson Fine, federal prisoner # 27050-077, has appealed the district court’s order denying her motion for appointment of counsel. Fine contends that she is entitled to appointed counsel under 21 U.S.C. § 848(q)(4)(A) & (8) because she is a “capital” defendant. Because Fine was not sentenced to death, she is not awaiting execution of a “judgment imposing a sentence of death.” Accordingly, she is not entitled to appointment of counsel under 21 U.S.C. § 848(q)(4)(A) & (8). The appeal is dismissed as frivolous. We caution Fine that the filing of frivolous motions and appeals in the future will invite the imposition of a sanction.

APPEAL DISMISSED WITH SANCTION WARNING.
