Richie v. Lampert
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Jeffrey L. Richie (Richie) appeals pro se the district court’s dismissal of his petition for habeas corpus brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, as limited by 28 U.S.C. § 2254.
The respondent contends that mootness bars review of Richie’s appeal. Richie contends that his appeal is not moot because he was injured by the alleged unconstitutional deferral of release in 2000, and he contends that we can fashion a remedy by deducting time from his maximum parole period. Richie’s underlying conviction, however, determines the maximum parole duration in Oregon. See Barnes v. Thompson, 159 Or.App. 383, 977 P.2d 431, 432 (1999). The validity of Richie’s conviction is not before us. The injury for which Richie seeks a remedy, therefore, cannot be redressed by this court.
Accordingly, we conclude that Richie’s appeal is moot. See Burnett v. Lampert, 432 F.3d 996, 1000-01 (9th Cir. 2005).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
