___________________________________
Submitted May 31, 2017 – Decided June 26, 2017
Before Judges Koblitz and Sumners.
On appeal from the New Jersey State Parole
Board.
Ja-Shone Sellers, appellant pro se.
Christopher S. Porrino, Attorney General,
attorney for respondent (Lisa A. Puglisi,
Assistant Attorney General, of counsel;
Christopher C. Josephson, Deputy Attorney
General, on the brief).
PER CURIAM
Appellant Ja-Shone Sellers appeals from a December 16, 2015
determination of defendant New Jersey State Parole Board (Board)
denying parole and establishing a fourteen-month future
eligibility term (FET). After serving his FET, the Board released
appellant on parole on February 9, 2017, while his appeal was
pending. This appeal is therefore moot. See Greenfield v. N.J.
Dep't of Corrs., 382 N.J. Super. 254, 257-58 (App. Div. 2006) ("An
issue is 'moot' when the decision sought in a matter, when
rendered, can have no practical effect on the existing
controversy.") (citation omitted).
Appeal dismissed.
