Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal was admissible despite the lack of current practical interest.
Decisione estratta
No. The appellant lacked a current practical interest because he had already been released from custody when he filed the federal appeal.
Motivazione estratta
Federal review requires a legally protected interest and normally a current practical interest. The exception for issues likely to recur did not apply because timely federal review would still be possible in future cases.
