                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. H-97-CV-1404
                             USDC No. H-89-CR-365-2

                                  January 19, 2001
Before POLITZ, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

       We previously affirmed on appeal the jury trial convictions and the sentences
imposed on Humberto Hinojosa for drug conspiracy and related offenses.1 Invoking

28 U.S.C. § 2255 he thereafter moved to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence


       *
        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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
       1
        United States v. Hinojosa, 958 F.2d 624 (5th Cir. 1992).
and, in conjunction therewith, he moved to correct claimed errors in the presentence
investigation report. The district court denied the latter motion and Hinojosa

appeals that ruling.

      The government moves to supplement the record with a copy of the district
court’s order granting Hinojosa leave to amend his § 2255 motion which is pending

in the trial court. This order was entered after Hinojosa filed his notice of appeal.

The government’s motion is granted.

      Hinojosa moves to strike the government’s appellate brief as untimely. There
is no showing of prejudice from the untimely filing and that motion is denied.2
      The order Hinojosa appeals is not appealable as a final judgment, it has not
been deemed final jurisprudentially, and it was not certified for appeal by the trial

court.3 Accordingly, there is no basis for appellate jurisdiction herein.
      The motion to supplement the record is GRANTED; the motion to strike the

government’s brief is DENIED; the appeal is DISMISSED and the matter is
returned to the district court for appropriate proceedings.
