Description

Dixie Lee Powell appeals pro se the district courts denial of her 28 U.S.C. Â§ 2255 motion challenging her conviction for willfully failing to file income tax returns in violation of 26 U.S.C. Â§ 7203, and the revocation of her probation for failing to cooperate with the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to resolve her tax liability. Powell contends that: (1) the district court abused its discretion by vindictively imposing a more onerous sentence after her first sentence had been vacated; (2) the district court erroneously revoked her probation; and (3) the district court violated her double jeopardy rights by punishing her twice for her willful failure to file income tax returns. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Â§Â§ 1291 and 2255. We review de novo the district courts denial of Powells Â§ 2255 motion, Frazer v. United States, 18 F.3d 778, 781 (9th Cir. 1994), and affirm.
