MEMORANDUM OPINION
The above-styled petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
2241 was filed in this court on January 12, 2015. As relief, Titus K. Connally-Bey
(“Petitioner”) requested to be released from confinement. On February 24, 2017,

the court with the envelope marked “forward time exp rtn to send.” Doc. 15.
Moreover, the petitioner has failed to check the docket on his own and has not

It appears that the petitioner has received the relief he sought in that he has
been released from custody. Accordingly, the petition appears to be MOOT. In
any case, the petitioner has failed to keep the court apprised of his current address
and, therefore, has failed to prosecute his claim.
DONE the 28th day of March, 2017.
