PER CURIAM.

Federal inmate Anthony R. Elwood appeals the district court’s*

 dismissal of

Elwood's 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition in which he contended he was being denied a

transfer to a federal prison camp in violation of Bureau of Prisons’ policy. Because

Elwood has been released to a community corrections center during the pendency of

this appeal, the appeal should be dismissed as moot. See Mills v. Green, 159 U.S.

651, 653 (1985) (when event occurs during pendency of appeal that renders it

impossible to grant effective relief, court will dismiss appeal as moot). 

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal.
