Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 131 F.3d 144 (8th Cir. 1997) Submitted Dec. 5, 1997. Filed Dec. 10, 1997

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

Before BOWMAN, BEAM, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Eugene Fitzhugh, previously sentenced to ten months of imprisonment and one year supervised release for a bribery conviction, appeals from the District Court's1  order denying his motion to reconsider his sentence based on his deteriorating health. Fitzhugh filed the motion during the pendency of his appeal from the ten-month sentence itself. Concluding it lacked jurisdiction to reconsider Fitzhugh's sentence, the District Court issued an order denying the motion.

Upon review of the record and the parties' submissions on appeal, we affirm the District Court for the reasons stated in its order. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
