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

                                                 2
