No. 10-50448
“This Court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction, on its own motion,
if necessary.” Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir. 1987). Young’s appeal
was rendered moot by his pre-release transfer to a residential reentry center,
and we therefore lack jurisdiction to consider it. In re Scruggs, 392 F.3d 124,
128 (5th Cir. 2004). Young’s motion to expedite the appeal is likewise DENIED
as moot.
APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION DENIED.
