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.
