Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. A-95-CR-97-ALL
--------------------
August 26, 1999
Before KING, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Government has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal
filed by federal inmate Betty Worline (# 61623-080). Worline had
filed a motion in the district court invoking 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2), and the district court determined that § 3582(c)(2)

motion as arising under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.

a one-level reduction pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2 and that the
district court should have reduced her sentence based on the
condition of her health. Worline waived her right to challenge
her sentence both on direct appeal and in a § 2255 proceeding
except under limited circumstances which are not alleged here.
Furthermore, neither § 3582(c) or § 2255 offers any possibility
of relief for Worline. See United States v. Gonzalez-Balderas,
105 F.3d 981, 982 (5th Cir. 1997); United States v. Vaughn,
955
F.2d 367, 368 (5th Cir. 1992).
Accordingly, the Government’s motion to dismiss the appeal
is GRANTED.
MOTION GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
