                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Southern District of Mississippi
                             USDC No. 5:15-CV-100

Before KING, DENNIS, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Lal Bhatia, formerly federal prisoner # 97562-011, appeals the denial of
his motion for a preliminary injunction in a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 proceeding. He
also moves for expedited consideration.

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 16-60076    Document: 00513775762     Page: 2   Date Filed: 11/29/2016

                                 No. 16-60076

      During the pendency of this appeal, Bhatia was released from prison and
placed in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. Accordingly, his
appeal is moot, and we lack jurisdiction over it. See Bailey v. Southerland, 821
F.2d 277, 278 (5th Cir. 1987).
      APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION DENIED.
