James Guy Arnold, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

James Guy Arnold appeals the district court orders denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petitions in these

consolidated cases. We find Arnold’s appeals to be moot.

Accordingly, we deny certificates of appealability and dismiss the

appeals. Further, we deny Arnold’s motion to proceed in forma

pauperis on appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

DISMISSED
