No. 89-3200 

(D.C. No. 88-3484-S) 

( D. Kan.) 

Before SEYMOUR, BRORBY, and EBEL, Circuit Judges. 

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. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

This appeal is from an order of the district court denying a 

petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

While this appeal was pending, petitioner died. This case is 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3.

therefore moot. Accordingly, we VACATE the judgment of the 

district court and REMAND with directions to dismiss this case for 

lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See,~, Knapp v. Baker, 

509 F.2d 922 (5th Cir. 1975); Gornto v. McDougall, 482 F.2d 361 

(5th Cir. 1973); In re Kravitz, 504 F. Supp. 43 (M.D. Pa. 1980). 

Our disposition of this appeal renders unnecessary any 

consideration of the motion of petitioner's counsel to withdraw.
