Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Robert P. Roselli, Appellant Pro Se. Mary Hannah Lauck, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Robert P. Roselli appealed from the district court’s order denying his motion for a preliminary injunction. The Government subsequently informed the district court that it had voluntarily provided to Roselli “the relief he sought.” The district court thereupon dismissed Roselli’s suit as moot. Because there is no longer a case or controversy, we likewise dismiss the appeal as moot. See Toms v. Allied Bond & Collection Agency, Inc., 179 F.3d 103, 105 (4th Cir. 1999). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma- terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
