No. 04-10762
-2-
During the pendency of this appeal, Gerik was reclassified
as being eligible for release on mandatory supervision and later
released on mandatory supervision. As Gerik has received all of
the relief he was seeking in his § 2254 application, his appeal
is moot. See McRae v. Hogan, 576 F.2d 615, 616-17 (5th Cir.
1978). Accordingly, the motion to supplement the record is
granted, the motion to dismiss is granted, and this appeal is
dismissed as moot.
MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD GRANTED; MOTION TO DISMISS
GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED AS MOOT.
