United States v. Crawford

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 01-30346 Conference Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus LYNN T. CRAWFORD, Defendant-Appellant. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana USDC No. 96-CR-50023-1 -------------------- October 25, 2001 Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Lynn T. Crawford, federal prisoner #09170-035, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his motion invoking Fed. R. Crim. P. 12(b)(2), which was filed after his conviction was affirmed on appeal and after the denial of certiorari. Because the criminal proceedings were no longer pending, this motion was unauthorized and without a jurisdictional basis. See United States v. Early, 27 F.3d 140, 142 (5th Cir. 1994). Crawford has thus “appealed from the denial of a meaningless, unauthorized motion.” Id. * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 01-30346 -2- Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. All outstanding motions are DENIED as MOOT. APPEAL DISMISSED. ALL OUTSTANDING MOTIONS DENIED AS MOOT.
