FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-40219
USDC No. 5:01-CV-216
GEORGE D. FARQUHAR,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
N. LEE CONNER, Warden
Respondent-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
--------------------
September 19, 2002
Before DAVIS, WIENER and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
George D. Farquhar, federal prisoner # 28074-077, appeals
the district court’s denial of his motion for release pending the
district court’s disposition of his petition filed pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2241. Farquhar has not raised substantial
constitutional claims upon which he has a high probability of
success or shown that extraordinary or exceptional circumstances
exist which make the grant of bail necessary to make the habeas
remedy effective. Calley v. Callaway, 496 F.2d 701, 702 (5th
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 02-40219
- 2 -
Cir. 1974). The district court’s denial of Farquhar’s motion is
AFFIRMED.
Farquhar has also filed a motion in this court for release
pending this court’s review of the district court’s decision not
to release him pending that court’s disposition of his § 2241
petition. Given that review of the district court’s decision not
to release Farquar is no longer pending, the instant motion is
DENIED as moot.
