certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the third circuit
No. 97-7213. Argued October 14, 1998—Decided December 8, 1998
Order granting certiorari vacated, and certiorari dismissed. Reported below: 126 F. 3d 200.
Donald J. McCauley argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the briefs were Richard Coughlin, Jeffrey T. Green, and Joseph S. Miller.
David C. Frederick argued the cause for the United States. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Waxman, Assistant Attorney General Robinson, Deputy Solicitor General Dreeben, and Thomas E. Booth.*
Per Curiam.
The Court is advised that the petitioner died in Spring-field, Missouri, on November 16, 1998. The Court's order granting the writ of certiorari, see 523 U. S. 1019 (1998), therefore is vacated, and the petition for certiorari is dismissed. See United States v. Green, 507 U. S. 545 (1993) (per curiam).
It is so ordered.
*Briefs of amici curiae urging reversal were filed for the Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in New Jersey by Chester M. Keller; and for the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers by Alan L. Zegas and David M. Porter.
