PER CURIAM:
Barbara M. Bush appeals following the dismissal of an
indictment charging her with two counts of threatening a federal
judge, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 876(c) (2006). “[A]bsent
extraordinary circumstances, a defendant has no standing to
appeal the dismissal of an indictment.” United States v.
Moller-Butcher, 732 F.2d 189, 190 (1st Cir. 1983); see also
United States v. Lanham, 631 F.2d 356 (4th Cir. 1980).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. Bush’s motion for
appointment of counsel is denied. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
