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
Supreme Court, through Justice Scalia, also denied Marche’s
request for a stay of extradition. Following these rulings,
Marche was extradited to France. The Government has moved to
dismiss Marche’s appeal as moot, asserting that Marche’s

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.
