Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Bernard Marche appeals from the district court’s final order

of extradition ordering that Marche be extradited to France to

face criminal charges.   This court has previously denied Marche’s

request for a stay of extradition pending this appeal.   The

                                  -2-

extradition to France terminates the jurisdiction of this court.

The Government is correct, and the motion to dismiss Marche’s

appeal as moot is GRANTED.    Marche’s motions for dismissal of

court-appointed counsel and for permission to proceed pro se on

appeal also are denied as MOOT.

     APPEAL DISMISSED.
