UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
MAXIMO MANUEL RAVELL-RUIZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:04-CR-47-ALL
--------------------
Before JONES, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Maximo Manuel Ravell-Ruiz appeals from his guilty-plea
conviction for illegal reentry following deportation. The record
reveals that Ravell-Ruiz absconded from custody prior to the
pendency of the instant appeal, and the Federal Public Defender
concedes that Ravell-Ruiz’s fugitive status remains ongoing.
Given these circumstances, the appeal is dismissed. See Ortega-
Rodriguez v. United States, 507 U.S. 234, 239-40 (1993); see also
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
