IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 99-30044
Conference Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
FERNELL WILRIGHT,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 93-CR-183-2-M
--------------------
February 17, 2000
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges
PER CURIAM:*
Fernell Wilright, prisoner number 23673-034, appeals from
the district court’s denial of his motion to compel the return of
his property. Wilright’s motion for leave to file an additional
reply is GRANTED. The district court did not err in denying the
motion. The Government no longer possesses the property, and the
court thus could not grant Wilright the relief he seeks. See
Ensley v. Cody Resources, 171 F.3d 315, 319 (5th Cir. 1999). The
case is moot, and the appeal is DISMISSED.
