Wayne L. Telfer, Aberdeen, WA, pro se.
Donna H. Mullen, Esq., Office of the Washington Attorney General (Olympia) Criminal Justice Division, Olympia, WA, for Respondent-Appellee.
Before: B. FLETCHER, WARDLAW, and IKUTA, Circuit Judges.
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).

Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Wayne L. Telfer, a former Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We dismiss the appeal as moot.
Telfer's petition challenges only his sentence and not his conviction. On August 4, 2005, Telfer was released from the jurisdiction of the Washington Department of Corrections. Accordingly, we conclude that this appeal is moot, because there is no case or controversy with respect to Telfer's completed sentence. See United States v. Palomba, 182 F.3d 1121, 1123 (9th Cir.1999).
DISMISSED.
