In United States v. Robertson, --- F.3d ---, No. 19-30237 (9th Cir. 2020), the Court affirmed the district court’s order regarding continuing obligations under a Criminal Justice Act reimbursement order in a case in which the defendant died while his appeal was pending.
Although the conviction and sentence were vacated due to the death, the Court held that the reimbursement order remained valid because "the CJA reimbursement order 'was not dependent in any way on [Robertson’s] conviction.'"
