Harris v. Lowndes County Detention Center et al

Filing 10

MEMORANDUM OPINION re 9 Order on Motion to Dismiss. Signed by District Judge Sharion Aycock on 8/30/13. (jlm)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
EASTERN DIVISION
ERIC DARNELL HARRIS,

PETITIONER

v.

No. 1:12CV206-A-V

LOWNDES COUNTY DETENTION CENTER, ET AL.

RESPONDENTS

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter comes before the court on the pro se petition of Eric Darnell Harris for a writ of
habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The State has moved to dismiss the petition as moot. Harris
has not responded to the motion, and the deadline for response has expired. The instant petition
challenges Harris’ pretrial detention on a Petition to Revoke Suspended Sentence filed in his state
criminal action. Harris requests that all charges against him be dismissed, that his probation be
reinstated, and that he be released from custody. After Harris filed the instant petition, the
revocation proceedings were dismissed, the criminal charges pending against him were retired to
the file, and he was released from custody. As Harris has received all the relief he requested, the
instant petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DISMISSED with prejudice as moot. A final
judgment consistent with this memorandum opinion shall issue today.
SO ORDERED, this the 30th day of August, 2013.
/s/ Sharion Aycock
U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
