Question juridique clé
Whether the state constitutional appeal remained admissible after the appellant's release from pre-trial detention.
Solution extraite
The appeal lacked an ongoing practical interest after release and was therefore to be struck off as moot.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 88 OG, federal review requires an actual practical interest. That interest disappeared upon release from custody, and the exception for issues capable of repetition yet evading review did not apply.
