Morgantown,respondents-appellees, 952 F.2d 1396 (4th Cir. 1992)

Clyde W. Myers appeals from the district court's orders refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1988). We affirm.

In case number 91-7202, the magistrate judge recommended that Myers' petition be dismissed on the merits. The district court dismissed the petition as moot and denied Myers' motion for reconsideration pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We find that the collateral consequences exception to the mootness doctrine applies and that we must review the merits of Myers' petition. See Leonard v. Hammond, 804 F.2d 838, 842 (4th Cir. 1986); 28 C.F.R. § 2.20 (1991). Nevertheless, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Myers v. United States Parole Comm'n, CA-90-110-E (N.D.W. Va. June 4, 1991).

In case number 91-6309, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm the dismissal of the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Myers v. United States Parole Comm'n, CA-91-78-E (N.D.W. Va. Sept. 12, 1991).

We dispense with oral agrument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
