MEMORANDUM ***

Shahrokh Mireskandari appeals the district court’s denial of his application under *677 28 U.S.C. § 1782 to obtain discovery from the law firm Bird, Marella, Boxer, Wol-pert, Nessim, Drooks, & Lincenberg, P.C. about the firm’s communications with Dr. Joseph Scoma. Mireskandari seeks the discovery for use in an appeal of a bar disciplinary order against him in the United Kingdom.

On February 5, 2014, Mireskandari discontinued his appeal in the United Kingdom. Since there is no indication that the appeal will be reinstituted, there is no longer a live controversy and Mireskan-dari’s discovery request is moot. See Powell v. McCormack, 395 U.S. 486, 496, 89 S.Ct. 1944, 23 L.Ed.2d 491 (1969) (“[A] case is moot when the issues presented are no longer ‘live’ or the parties lack a legally cognizable interest in the outcome.”).

APPEAL DISMISSED AS MOOT.
