ORDER
BRIAN MORRIS, CHIEF DISTRICT JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
Defendant Dennis L. Hayes (“Hayes”) filed a letter on January 20, 2023. (Doc. 41.) The Court will construe the letter as a motion.

(Id.) These questions are not properly before the Court in light of the January 6, 2023, Amended Judgment denying Hayes's appeal. (Doc. 39.) The Court will deny Hayes's motion. (Doc. 41.) Hayes may appeal the Court's decision to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
