                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                              USDC No. 4:10-CV-20

Before KING, CLEMENT, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Gerardo Cervantes Sosa (Sosa), former federal prisoner # 33257-177,
appeals the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition seeking removal of an
immigration detainer and transfer to a facility where he could avail himself of
early release programs. As Sosa has been released from Bureau of Prisons
custody and removed to Mexico, we dismiss his appeal as moot. See Calderon v.

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

                                 No. 10-50921

Moore, 518 U.S. 149, 150 (1996); Rocky v. King, 900 F.2d 864, 867 (5th Cir.
1990). The appellees’ motion for an extension of time to file an appellate brief
therefore is denied as unnecessary.
      APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION DENIED.
