TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-03-00719-CR

                                   Ex parte Kevin J. Mayhew

      FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
            NO. 55359, HONORABLE RICK MORRIS, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Kevin J. Mayhew applied for a writ of habeas corpus to contest his extradition to

Arkansas. The writ issued and, after a hearing, the relief sought was denied. This appeal followed.

               Documents contained in a recently filed supplemental clerk’s record reflect that

Mayhew was released into the custody of Arkansas police on November 23, 2003, two days after the

habeas corpus hearing and two days before his attorney filed the notice of appeal. Apparently, no

effort was made to stay extradition pending appeal. Under the circumstances, the appeal is moot.

Ex parte Stowell, 940 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.).
              The appeal is dismissed.

                                            __________________________________________
