James Carl Saal, Petitioner-appellant, v. United States of America, Respondent-appellee, 441 F.2d 272 (5th Cir. 1971)
Annotate this CaseJames C. Saal, pro se.
Wayman G. Sherrer, U. S. Atty., Richard H. Still, Jr., Atlanta, Ga., for respondent-appellee.
Before GEWIN, GOLDBERG and DYER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Saal, while an inmate of the United States Penitentiary at Atlanta, Georgia, filed a petition in the district court challenging the Bureau of Prisons's computation of the time remaining to be served on his sentence, and seeking credit thereon. The district court denied relief, and Saal appealed to this Court. Thereafter an affidavit by the Administrative Assistant of the Atlanta Penitentiary was filed in this Court certifying that the appellant was unconditionally released from federal custody on February 2, 1971. Since Saal is no longer incarcerated, nor under mandatory release,1 the issues presented upon this appeal are moot.2
Appeal dismissed.
