Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The appellant’s sole contention on appeal of his denial of habeas corpus relief, is that he has been denied his right to a parole hearing. Since an affidavit has been filed in this court certifying that the appellant was in fact afforded a parole hearing on December 11, 1970, this appeal is dismissed as moot. 1

1

. It is appropriate to dispose of this pro se case summarily, pursuant to this Court’s local Rule 9(c) (2), appellant having failed to file a brief within the time fixed by Rule 31, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Kimbrough v. Beto, Director, 5th Cir. 1969, 412 F.2d 981.
