v.
JUAN TEJADA-REVULCABA,

Circuit Judge.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Juan Tejada-Revulcaba, Appellant Pro Se. Tobin Webb Lathan, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Juan Tejada-Revulcaba appeals the district court’s order
denying his Motion for Declaratory Relief or Alternatively
Immigration Departure. During the pendency of this appeal, Tejada-
Revulcaba was released from imprisonment. Upon review, we conclude
that his arguments challenging the district court’s denial of his
motion are now moot. See Friedman’s, Inc. v. Dunlap, 290 F.3d
191, 197 (4th Cir. 2002) (“[W]hether we are presented with a live
case or controversy is a question we may raise sua sponte since
mootness goes to the heart of the Article III jurisdiction of the
courts.” (internal quotation marks omitted)).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
