PER CURIAM.
Federal inmate Richard Eugene Eddy appeals the district court's* order
dismissing without prejudice Eddy's 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. We conclude this
appeal is moot, because Eddy's sole request for relief was for restoration of good-time
credit (GTC) and earlier release, and Eddy has since been released from incarceration

The Honorable Ortrie D. Smith, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
James C. England, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of
Missouri.
and is serving a period of supervised release. See United States v. Johnson, 529 U.S.
53, 56-60 (2000) (credit for too much time served in prison may not be applied to
supervised release because Congress intended to assist prisoners in making transition
to community life); Vandenberg v. Rodgers, 801 F.2d 377, 377-78 (10th Cir. 1986)
(per curiam) (claim of wrongful deprivation of GTC toward earlier parole date
became moot after petitioner's release from custody on parole).
We thus dismiss Eddy's appeal.
