Submitted:   May 26, 2016                  Decided:   May 31, 2016

Assistant United States Attorney, Florence, South Carolina, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
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

                                   2
