Lewis J. Pryor, Plaintiff-appellant, v. U.S. Parole Commission, Defendant-appellee, 139 F.3d 907 (9th Cir. 1998)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 139 F.3d 907 (9th Cir. 1998) Submitted Feb. 9, 1998**.Decided Feb. 19, 1998

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington Robert J. Bryan, District Judge, Presiding.

Before PREGERSON, CANBY, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

Lewis J. Pryor appeals pro se the denial of his mandamus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1361. We dismiss the appeal as moot.

Pryor filed a mandamus petition seeking review of his status after a federal detainer was lodged with the state prison in which he was serving a sentence imposed for a crime he committed while on federal supervised release. During the pendency of this appeal, the district court held a revocation hearing regarding the supervised release violation. The district court revoked Pryor's supervised release and imposed a 24-month sentence for the supervised release violation. Because the district court has held a revocation hearing in which Pryor had the opportunity to present his claims, we dismiss his appeal as moot. See Reimers v. Oregon, 863 F.2d 630, 632 (9th Cir. 1989) (stating that federal courts lack jurisdiction to decide moot issues).

DISMISSED.
