PER CURIAM:

Curtis Richardson seeks to appeal the district court’s order 

finding pretrial detention appropriate. However, because 

Richardson subsequently entered a plea of guilty in the district 

court, we conclude that his appeal is moot, see Murphy v. Hunt, 

455 U.S. 478, 481-82 (1982), and we dismiss the appeal on that 

basis. 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
