Robert Edwin Hoffman, San Luis Obis-po, CA, pro se.
Lora Fox Martin, Esq., AGCA — Office of the California Attorney General, San Diego, CA, for Respondent-Appellee.
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).

Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Robert Edwin Hoffman, a former California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition challenging the California Board of Prison Terms' ("the Board") decision determining him not suitable for parole.
The Board subsequently determined that Hoffman was suitable for parole, the Governor declined to exercise his discretion to review the decision, and Hoffman has now been released on parole. Therefore, this appeal is moot. See Burnett v. Lampert, 432 F.3d 996, 1000-01 (9th Cir. 2005); see also Fendler v. U.S. Bureau of Prisons, 846 F.2d 550, 555 (9th Cir.1988).
AFFIRMED.
