United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT1
Before SEYMOUR, Chief Judge, McKAY and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges.2


1
Petitioners John G. Migliaccio and Bert M. Avery attempted to file various 28 U.S.C. 2255 motions to vacate their sentences while their direct appeals were pending with this Court.  The district court properly dismissed these motions.  See  United States v. Cook, 997 F.2d 1312, 1319 (10th Cir.1993) ("Absent extraordinary circumstances, the orderly administration of criminal justice precludes a district court from considering a 2255 motion while review of the direct appeal is still pending.").  On September 7, 1994, this Court decided Petitioners' direct appeals.  United States v. Migliaccio, --- F.3d ---, 1994 U.S.App. Lexis 24278 (10th Cir.  Sept. 7, 1994).  This appeal is dismissed as moot.
