UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Clifton P. GARDNER, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 02-10152.
    D.C. No. CR-01-00141-HDM.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted Nov. 18, 2002.
    
    Decided Nov. 22, 2002.
    Before REINHARDT, RYMER, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.
    
      
      This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Clifton P. Gardner appeals pro se his conviction following a bench trial, for not removing unauthorized livestock from national forest land when requested to do so by a forest officer, in violation of 16 U.S.C. § 551 and 36 C.F.R. § 261.7(b). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review issues of law de novo, United States v. Boyd, 214 F.3d 1052, 1054 (9th Cir.2000), and we affirm.

Gardner’s contention that he was not lawfully summoned lacks merit because Gardner committed a petty offense for which a violation notice is sufficient. See Boyd, 214 F.3d at 1057; Fed.R.Crim.P. 58(b)(1); 16 U.S.C. § 551 and 36 C.F.R. § 261.7(b).

Further, Gardner provides no support for his contentions that the district court acted as a legislative court and violated his constitutional rights.

AFFIRMED.
