PER CURIAM
In our prior decision in this prison disciplinary matter, State v. Sheika 395 N.J. Super. 266 (App. Div. 2007), we remanded the case to the Department of Corrections for a hearing, in accordance with the procedural protections of Avant v. Clifford, 67 N.J. 496 (1975), with respect to charges leading to Sheika's nonconsensual out-of-State transfer to Connecticut to serve the remaining nineteen years of a thirty-year sentence for murder. Jurisdiction was retained.
We have been informed by counsel for Sheika that the order of transfer to Connecticut has been rescinded, and that Sheika has been removed from the prison's Management Control Unit and returned to the general population of New Jersey State Prison.
In accordance with the request of counsel for the State and
Sheika, we therefore dismiss the pending appeal as moot.
Since our initial decision in this matter, Judge Kestin has retired.
