Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Robert Lee Mudd, Texas prisoner # 424596, has appealed the district court's order dismissing his civil rights complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. In his complaint, Mudd challenged the application to him of a Security Precaution Designator (SPD), pursuant to Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutional Division, Administrative Directive 4.11 (AD 4.11), because of a 1995 escape attempt and related staff assault.
Under AD 4.11, inmates with prior escape attempts not older than 10 years are tagged with a SPD and are automatically housed in medium custody. The appellees have advised the court that Mudd's SPD was removed on July 22, 2005; that Mudd's custody classification is minimum custody (G2); and that he is housed in a cellblock with minimum custody inmates. Mudd concedes that his SPD has been removed and that he is no longer housed in medium custody. Accordingly, this case no longer presents a live controversy supporting this court's jurisdiction. See Sierra Club v. Glickman, 156 F.3d 606, 619 (5th Cir.1998).
The appeal is DISMISSED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
