Per Curiam. By way of this habeas corpus petition under __________
28 U.S.C. 2241, petitioner Charles Simon sought to be
awarded 120 days of "meritorious good time credit" that he
alleged had been unlawfully withheld from him. Petitioner
has since been released from prison. As there is no longer
any available relief that can be judicially awarded, his
petition is moot. See, e.g., Fendler v. U.S. Bureau of ___ ____ _______ _______________
Prisons, 846 F.2d 550, 555 (9th Cir. 1988); Bailey v. _______ ______
Southerland, 821 F.2d 277, 278 (5th Cir. 1987) (per curiam). ___________
We accordingly vacate the district court's judgment and
remand with directions to dismiss the action on the ground of
mootness. See, e.g., United States v. Munsingwear, 340 U.S. ___ ____ ______________ ___________
36, 39-40 (1950); Motta v. District Director of INS, 61 F.3d _____ ________________________
117, 118-19 (1st Cir. 1995).
Vacated and remanded with directions to dismiss the ________________________________________________________
action as moot. _______________
