ORDER

1

Following the district court's denial of his motion to vacate his sentence, 28 U.S.C. § 2255, Casey Horton filed an appeal before this court. Because Mr. Horton passed away during the pendency of the appeal, we now DISMISS his case as moot.

*

After preliminary examination of the briefs, the court notified the parties that it had tentatively concluded that oral argument would not be helpful to the court in this case. The notice provided that any party might file a "Statement as to Need of Oral Argument." See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); Cir.R. 34(f). No such statement having been filed, the appeal has been submitted on the briefs
