Danny Lamont Yarborough, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint seeking equitable relief.

While it is unclear whether the Prison Litigation Reform Act, Pub.

L. No. 104-124, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996), was properly applied to

Appellant's complaint, we conclude that the order may be affirmed
because Appellant has subsequently been released from incarcer-

ation, rendering his claims moot because he is no longer subjected

to the conditions of which he complained. Magee v. Waters, 810 F.2d
451, 452 (4th Cir. 1987). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
