PER CURIAM:* Appellant James Glenn Hutson, Texas prisoner # 633802, has appealed the district court’s denial of habeas corpus relief from an Oklahoma state felony detainer warrant.

No. 96-20506 - 2 - Appellee Gary L. Johnson has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, on grounds that the detainer has been withdrawn and the Oklahoma indictment dismissed, for failure to comply with the speedy-trial requirements of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act. The motion is granted and the appeal is hereby dismissed. See Birdwell v. Skeen, 983 F.2d 1332, 1335-36 (5th Cir. 1993).
