PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Johnny B. Washington, Jr., appeals the thirty-month sentence he received after he pled guilty to two counts of credit card fraud, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1029(a) (2), 1029(c) (1), 2 (1988 & Supp. II 1990). He contends that the district court's departure above the guideline range was unreasonable.
During the pendency of this appeal, the district court reduced Washington's sentence to twenty months on the government's motion under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 35(b). Because Washington is no longer serving the thirty-month sentence originally imposed, his appeal is dismissed as moot, without prejudice to appeal the newly imposed sentence. The appeal period commences from the date of this opinion. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
