No. 20-20279

the constitutionality of Texas Government Code § 508.149(b) and (d), which relate to an inmate’s release on mandatory supervision. The district court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) because Harvey failed to establish that he had met the time qualification requirement for eligibility for mandatory supervision pursuant to Texas Government Code § 508.147(a).

We review the district court’s dismissal de novo. See Ramming v. United States, 281 F.3d 158, 161 (5th Cir. 2001). Harvey conceded that he did not meet the time qualification requirement for mandatory supervision under § 508.147(a) at the time he filed his lawsuit. Although he alleges that he met the time qualification requirement during the pendency of this appeal, standing is assessed at the time the lawsuit is filed. See Carney v. Adams, 141 S. Ct. 493, 499 (2020). Because the district court correctly dismissed Harvey’s lawsuit without prejudice on this basis, we AFFIRM the district court’s judgment. In light of that conclusion, we DENY Harvey’s motions for appointment of counsel, for extraordinary relief, and to expedite this appeal.
