Micky Dawn Wade, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Wichita County, Texas, Respondent-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 7:21-CV-1
Before Stewart, Haynes, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam [*]
Micky Dawn Wade moves for leave to appeal in forma pauperis (IFP) from the district court's dismissal of a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition seeking release from pretrial custody on grounds, among others, that his right to a speedy trial and his right to be free from excessive bail were violated. While the IFP motion was pending, a jury convicted Wade on five counts of sexual assault of a minor and sentenced him to life in prison. The conviction and sentence rendered moot his claims about pretrial detention. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 228-29 (5th Cir. 1993); Fassler v. United States, 858 F.2d 1016, 1018 & n.3 (5th Cir. 1988). We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction as moot. See United States v. Lares-Meraz, 452 F.3d 352, 354-55 (5th Cir. 2006). The IFP motion is denied as moot.
APPEAL DISMISSED AS MOOT; IFP DENIED AS MOOT.
