IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 96-50803 Conference Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus CHRISTOPHER MATTHEW LAMPRECHT, Defendant-Appellant. - - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. A-95-CR-10-ALL - - - - - - - - - - August 14, 1997 Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Christopher Matthew Lamprecht, # 61153-080, appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to proceed in forma pauperis filed in connection with his motion for transcripts of his sentencing hearings at Government expense. Assuming arguendo that the court has jurisdiction of this appeal, see United States v. Miramontez, 995 F.2d 56, 58 (5th Cir. 1993), despite the lack of a pending 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion with which these motions should have been filed, we hold that the appeal is moot. * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 96-50803 -2- Lamprecht received the relief he requested when the district court granted permission to appeal in forma pauperis and ordered the transcripts prepared, as Lamprecht recognized in his reply brief. APPEAL DISMISSED.
