             Appellee

      v.

Paul John Manafort, Jr.,

             Appellant


      BEFORE:       Rogers, Tatel, and Wilkins, Circuit Judges

                                        ORDER

       Upon consideration of the motion for release pending appeal, the response
thereto, and the reply, it is

       ORDERED that the motion be denied. The court declines to exercise its
authority under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 9(a)(3) because appellant has not
shown that immediate relief before resolution of his expedited appeal is warranted.
