The order of the Superior Court which affirmed the denial of post-conviction relief sought by the appellant, Clement McGuire, is affirmed on the basis that eligibility for relief under the Post Conviction Relief Act, 42 Pa.C.S. § 9541 et seq., lapsed when McGuire completed serving his sentence.* See Commonwealth v. Ahlborn, — Pa. -, 699 A.2d 718 (1997).

On April 1, 1994, McGuire was fully discharged upon the expiration of his parole. On May 18, 1994, the PCRA petition was denied.
