MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL FEBRUARY 12, 2010 *fn1

Andre Powell brought a habeas action challenging his prison’s imposition of disciplinary sanctions. He pleaded himself out of court, however, by revealing in his petition that the prison already had vacated its discipline order and had scheduled a new hearing. The district court consequently dismissed the petition as moot. Mr. Powell moved the court to reconsider; it declined to do so. He also moved for relief from judgment. The court denied this motion. Mr. Powell’s appeal is timely only as to the denial of his motion for relief from judgment.

By order dated February 8, 2010, this court, agreeing with the district court, denied permission to proceed in forma pauperis. In that order, the court gave Mr. Powell 14 days to pay the required docketing fee or to withdraw his appeal.
