Appeal from the United States District Court

USDC No. 3:10-CR-99-1
Before DAVIS, SOUTHWICK, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appellant Thomas. A. Nelson Jr. appeals the district court’s denial of his
request for release pending the resolution of his appeal of his conviction and
sentence in case number 12-30101. On December 3, 2013, this Court’s
judgment in case number 12-30101 was issued as mandate. Accordingly, we
are incapable of granting relief to Appellant in his appeal of the denial of his
motion for release pending appeal. See e.g., United States v. Rosenbaum-
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
