PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

Lori Irish appeals the district court’s 1 denial of her 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition,
in which she challenged the Bureau of Prisons’ denial of her request for a 12-month
placement in a Residential Reentry Center (RRC). The appeal is moot, however,
because Irish was transferred to an RRC during the pendency of this appeal, and thus
the court can no longer grant her the relief she requested. See Calderon v. Moore, 518
U.S. 149, 150 (1996) (per curiam) (when event occurs during pendency of appeal that
renders it impossible for court to grant effective relief, court should dismiss appeal as
moot). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
