Lyle W. Cayce Clerk THOMAS A. NELSON, JR., Defendant Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana USDC No. 3:10-CR-99-1 Before DAVIS, SOUTHWICK, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Appellant Thomas. A. Nelson Jr. appeals the district court s denial of his request for release pending the resolution of his appeal of his conviction and sentence in case number 12-30101.
