Alberto DURAN, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Janet RENO, et al., Respondents-Appellees.
    No. 98-2715.
    United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.
    Oct. 25, 1999.
    Present: HONORABLE RALPH K. WINTER,Chief Judge, JANE A. RESTANI Judge, MICHAEL B. MUKASEY, District Judge,
    
    
      
       The Honorable Jane A. Restani, of the United States Court of International Trade, sitting by designation.
    
    
      
       The Honorable Michael B. Mukasey, of the United States District Court for the Southern district of New York, sitting by designation.
    
    
      
       Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(b) and an order of the Chief Judge of this Court certifying a judicial emergency, this case was heard by a panel consisting of the Chief Judge of this Court, one judge of the United States District Court sitting by designation, and one judge of the United States Court of International Trade sitting by designation.
    
   In an opinion dated September 20, 1999, we granted appellant’s motion for the appointment of counsel on appeal from the district court’s (Griesa, Chief Judge) dismissal of appellant’s habeas corpus petition, and ordered that counsel shall be appointed pursuant to the Criminal Justice Act (“CJA”), 18 U.S.C. § B006A. See Duran v. Reno, 193 F.3d 82, 83-84 (2d Cir. 1999). The government thereafter moved to modify that portion of the opinion appointing counsel under the CJA. The government now informs us, however, that appellant was deported from the United States on February 23, 1999 and that no stay of deportation was in effect at the time appellant was deported. We thus have no jurisdiction over appellant’s appeal. Accordingly, it is ordered that said appeal be and it hereby is dismissed, and the September 20, 1999 opinion is vacated as moot.
