Relief

or

order

Alternatively

Immigration Departure. During the pendency of this appeal, TejadaRevulcaba was released from imprisonment. Upon review, we conclude
that his arguments challenging the district court’s denial of his
motion are now moot.

See Friedman’s, Inc. v. Dunlap, 290 F.3d

191, 197 (4th Cir. 2002) (“[W]hether we are presented with a live

mootness goes to the heart of the Article III jurisdiction of the

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
