- - - - - - - - - -
February 29, 1996
Before GARWOOD, JONES, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
James Howard Haney has moved for a determination of the
status of his case, which raises his ultimate issue for appeal,
whether the district court had jurisdiction to convict him for
violating 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). The district court had proper
jurisdiction to consider Haney's offense. See United States v.
Davis, 666 F.2d 195, 199 (5th Cir. 1992); see also 28 U.S.C.
§ 124(a)(1). Haney's motions for determination of status, for
leave to apply for a writ of mandamus in the Supreme Court, and
for an extension of time to file an appellate brief are DENIED.
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
No. 95-10972

Haney's appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. See 5th Cir. 42.2.
Haney is WARNED that the filing of frivolous appeals in the
future will result in the imposition of sanctions. See Moody v.
