ORDER AND JUDGMENT 

Before MOORE and TACHA, Circuit Judges, and BRIMMER, Chief Judge.* 

*Honorable Clarence A. Brimmer, Chief Judge, United States 

District Court for the District of Wyoming, sitting by 

designation. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.8. 

submitted without oral argument. 

The cause is therefore ordered 

The petitioner appeals from the district court's denial of 

his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for writ of habeas corpus. The 

petitioner was sentenced to two consecutive two-year terms of 

imprisonment after conviction on two counts of violating 18 U.S.C. 

§ 1014. The petitioner challenged the Parole Commission's

application of its guidelines in calculating the length of time he 

had to serve in custody. The petitioner contended that the term 

of custody determined by the Commission was too long, and he 

sought the aid of the courts in obtaining his release. 

We are informed that the petitioner has been free of federal 

custody since at least October of 1987. As there is no effectual 

relief that this court can now grant to the petitioner, this 

matter is moot and the appeal is DISMISSED. See Federal Deposit 

Ins. Corp. v. Jennings, 816 F.2d 1488, 1490 (10th Cir. 

1987)(appeal is moot when this court cannot grant petitioner any 

effectual relief due to event occurring during pendency of 

appeal.) 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
