Submitted May 31, 2017 Decided

Before Judges Koblitz and Sumners.

On appeal from the New Jersey State Parole Board.

Ja-Shone Sellers, appellant pro se.

Christopher S. Porrino, Attorney General, attorney for respondent (Lisa A. Puglisi, Assistant Attorney General, of counsel; Christopher C. Josephson, Deputy Attorney General, on the brief).

PER CURIAM

Appellant Ja-Shone Sellers appeals from a December 16, 2015 determination of defendant New Jersey State Parole Board (Board) denying parole and establishing a fourteen-month future eligibility term (FET). After serving his FET, the Board released appellant on parole on February 9, 2017, while his appeal was pending. This appeal is therefore moot. See Greenfield v. N.J. Dep't of Corrs., 382 N.J. Super. 254, 257-58 (App. Div. 2006) ("An issue is 'moot' when the decision sought in a matter, when rendered, can have no practical effect on the existing controversy.") (citation omitted).

Appeal dismissed.
