Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 852 F.2d 1289 (9th Cir. 1987)

Will Erman JONES, Petitioner-Appellant,v.Daniel McCARTHY, et al., Respondent-Appellee.

No. 87-5587.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted Nov. 18, 1987.* Decided July 21, 1988.

Before KOELSCH, POOLE and FERGUSON, Circuit Judges:


MEMORANDUM** 

Jones, a California state prisoner, appeals the district court's denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. We dismiss the appeal as moot.

Jones contends that the California Board of Prison Terms improperly retained jurisdiction over him after he had completed a year of "nonsuspended parole." Jones sought only release from custody and did not challenge his underlying conviction. The state has now certified that Jones was released from custody on December 7, 1987. Jones' record of parole violations does not constitute "collateral consequences" for the purposes of mootness analysis. See Lane v. Williams, 455 U.S. 624, 632-34 & n. 13 (1982) (dismissing habeas appeal where respondents had been released from custody). Jones' habeas appeal is therefore moot.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
