NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS SEP 28 2015 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 14-10437 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 2:10-cr-00217-PMP v. MEMORANDUM* DRAGOMIR TASKOV, a.k.a. Drago, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Philip M. Pro, District Judge, Presiding Submitted September 21, 2015** Before: REINHARDT, LEAVY, and BERZON, Circuit Judges. Federal prisoner Dragomir Taskov appeals pro se the district court’s judgment denying his motion for a new trial under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33. We have jurisdiction under
28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. Taskov contends that he is entitled to a new trial because he received new * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). evidence on the fourth day of his jury trial. The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Taskov’s motion. See United States v. Hinkson,
585 F.3d 1247, 1259 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc). Taskov failed to show that the evidence is newly discovered. See United States v. Harrington,
410 F.3d 598, 601 (9th Cir. 2005). Taskov also claims that the district court improperly denied his motion to substitute counsel, improperly denied his post-trial motion for discovery, and violated his right to a speedy trial. We decline to consider these arguments, which Taskov raised for the first time on appeal. See United States v. Napier,
463 F.3d 1040, 1045-46 (9th Cir. 2006). AFFIRMED. 2 14-10437
