THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
James Thomas Webb seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motion for release pending appeal. At the
time that Webb filed the motion, our mandate had issued in his
direct appeal from his conviction and sentence, and he had
received an extension from the Supreme Court to file a petition
for certiorari. In his motion for release pending appeal, Webb
asserted that he would be filing a petition for certiorari and
asked to be released pending a decision in his case. The period
for Webb to file his petition for certiorari has now expired,
and he has not filed a petition. Accordingly, since his direct
appeal is no longer pending, we dismiss this appeal as moot. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
