ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before MOORE, ANDERSON, and EBEL, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. 

submitted without oral argument. 

The case is therefore ordered 

This is an appeal from an order of the district court 

dismissing petitioner-appellant's petition for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On March 5, 1990, 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3.

, ... 

petitioner's application to this court for a stay of the 

underlying state sentence was denied. 

The matter is now before the court on: 1) 

respondent-appellee's motion to dismiss the appeal and 2) 

petitioner's response to the motion to dismiss and renewed 

application for stay pending appeal. 

In support of the motion to dismiss, respondent states that 

petitioner is a fugitive from justice. In his response to the 

motion to dismiss, counsel for petitioner does not controvert 

respondent's statement regarding petitioner's fugitive status. 

Under the circumstances, we conclude that this appeal should be 

and is DISMISSED. Gonzales v. Stover, 575 F.2d 827 (10th Cir. 

1978). 

In light of the disposition of the appeal, the petitioner's 

renewed application for stay pending appeal is denied as moot. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
