United States v. Crawford

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 01-30346 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

LYNN T. CRAWFORD,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana USDC No. 96-CR-50023-1 -------------------- October 25, 2001

Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Lynn T. Crawford, federal prisoner #09170-035, appeals the

district court’s dismissal of his motion invoking Fed. R. Crim.

P. 12(b)(2), which was filed after his conviction was affirmed on

appeal and after the denial of certiorari. Because the criminal

proceedings were no longer pending, this motion was unauthorized

and without a jurisdictional basis. See United States v. Early,

27 F.3d 140, 142 (5th Cir. 1994). Crawford has thus “appealed

from the denial of a meaningless, unauthorized motion.” Id.

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 01-30346 -2-

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of subject-matter

jurisdiction. All outstanding motions are DENIED as MOOT.

APPEAL DISMISSED. ALL OUTSTANDING MOTIONS DENIED AS MOOT.
