PER CURIAM:

1
Charles Edward Smith appeals an order of the district court which denied him an extension of time to file his notice of appeal.  This Court, however, found his notice of appeal timely under Houston v. Lack, 56 U.S.L.W. 4728 (U.S. June 24, 1988) (No. 87-428), and decided the appeal on the merits.  Smith v. Garraghty, No. 90-6307 (4th Cir.  July 23, 1990) (unpublished).  Because Smith has already received the relief he seeks here, we dismiss this appeal as moot.  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
