No. 12-7518

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

SIDNEY KENNETH MITCHELL,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Martinsburg. John Preston Bailey, Chief District Judge. (3:06-cr-00068-GMG-1)

Submitted: December 13, 2012 Decided: December 18, 2012

Before MOTZ, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Sidney Kenneth Mitchell, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Oliver Mucklow, Assistant United States Attorney, Martinsburg, West Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Sidney Kenneth Mitchell seeks to appeal the district

court’s order granting his motion for reconsideration of the

court’s denial of his

(c)(2) (2006) motion for a

reduction of sentence and reducing his sentence under Amendment

715 to the Sentencing Guidelines. * We deny Mitchell’s motion to

appoint counsel and dismiss the appeal as moot because Mitchell

was released from custody while this action was pending. We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED

* Although the district court reduced Mitchell’s sentence on reconsideration, the court did not reduce his sentence to the extent he requested in his motion.
