          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Northern District of Texas
                     USDC No. 3:99-CR-98-1-T
                       --------------------
                          April 10, 2001

Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and JONES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Shelby Lee Daniels, federal prisoner #22481-077, appeals the

district court’s denial of his Fed. R. Crim. P. 12(b)(2) motion

to dismiss the indictment, which was filed after Daniels had

noticed his appeal from his judgment of conviction.    Daniels’

timely notice of appeal from his judgment of conviction divested

the district court of jurisdiction to address the Fed. R. Crim.

P. 12(b)(2) motion.   See United States v. Hitchmon, 602 F.2d 689,

692 (5th Cir. 1979)(en banc).   Accordingly, we AFFIRM the

district court’s denial of the motion to dismiss the indictment

     *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
                          No. 00-11184
                               -2-

on the ground that the district court was without jurisdiction to

consider the motion.

     AFFIRMED.
