MEMORANDUM OPINION

The magistrate judge to whom the “Motion to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct

Conviction and Sentence” of Laturus M. Stone was assigned filed a report and

recommendation on March 28, 2016, finding that the motion is due to be denied. 

(Doc. 16). A copy of the report and recommendation was served upon Stone at his

last known address at FCI Beaumont, Beaumont, Texas. It has been returned as

undeliverable, due to the fact that he is no longer at the institution. Stone, therefore,

has failed to keep this Court informed of his present address. The Court also has

determined that he has been released fromcustody, which moots his sentencing claim

in this action. See Cleckler v. United States, 410 F. App’x 279, 283 (11th Cir. 2011)

(“Ordinarily, if a habeas petitioner attacks only hissentence, and the sentence expires
