Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. AP-75,330 EX PARTE CHRISTOPHER DON MATTHEWS, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

IN CAUSE NO. F96-23352-Q FROM THE 204^TH

DISTRICT COURT OF DALLAS COUNTY

Per Curiam.

O P I N I O N

Applicant was convicted of the offense of possession of methamphetamine and sentenced to a ten-year term of imprisonment. We filed and set his post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus to determine the proper remedy when an inmate is denied release to discretionary mandatory supervision after being given inadequate notice of when he would be reviewed, and is not given adequate notice before any further review for mandatory supervision. Shortly after the cause was submitted, however, this Court was notified by the Parole Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice that the applicant was approved for release on mandatory supervision on June 5, 2006, and was actually released on June 27, 2006. We therefore dismiss the application as moot.

Delivered: November 15, 2006
