       2                      Opinion of the Court                23-10402

       Before WILSON, LUCK, and LAGOA, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
               This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
       tion. Christopher Desilien, proceeding pro se, has appealed from
       the district court’s January 24, 2023 order denying his three mo-
       tions for release from custody pending the resolution of his
       28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition. While this appeal was
       pending, the district court entered a final order denying the § 2254
       petition with prejudice. Because the district court has now finally
       resolved the action in its entirety, Mr. Desilien’s challenge to the
       denial of his motions for release from custody pending the resolu-
       tion of his § 2254 petition is moot. See Pagan v. United States, 353
       F.3d 1343, 1346 (11th Cir. 2003) (noting that a final decision on the
       merits of a habeas petition “renders moot the issue of whether a
       prisoner is entitled to be released pending resolution of the post-
       conviction relief proceeding”); cf. Murphy v. Hunt, 455 U.S. 478, 481-
       84, 481 n.5 (1982) (holding that a criminal defendant’s claim to pre-
       trial bail was moot once he was convicted). Accordingly, we lack
       jurisdiction over the appeal.
             No petition for rehearing may be filed unless it complies
       with the timing and other requirements of 11th Cir. R. 40-3 and all
       other applicable rules.
