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
