TENTH CIRCUIT

JESUS JOHN HERNANDEZ

Petitioner-Appellant,

v.

JOSEPH M. BROOKS, Warden, Englewood FCI; UNITED STATES MARSHAL SERVICE; and UNITED STATES PAROLE COMMISSION,

Respondents-Appellees.	

No. 98-1358

(D.C. 98-D-771)
(District of Colorado)	

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before SEYMOUR, Chief Judge, and BALDOCK, and HENRY, Circuit Judges,

	Petitioner Jesus John Hernandez appeals the district court’s order denying his petition for habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.  Mr. Hernandez sought release  pending a parole revocation proceeding.  The government reports (and Mr. Hernandez does not dispute) that the Parole Commission held a hearing on July 20, 1998 and revoked his parole.  In his appellate brief, Mr. Hernandez challenges the district court’s refusal to release him pending the parole revocation hearing on several grounds.  
	We agree with the government that Mr. Hernandez’s appeal is moot.  Because the parole revocation hearing has already been held, the question of Mr. Hernandez’s release pending the hearing is no longer live.   Mr. Hernandez now lacks a legally cognizable interest in the decision whether to release him on bail before that hearing.  See Murphy v. Hunt, 455 U.S. 478, 481 (1982) (per curiam) (concluding that a defendant’s claim to pretrial bail was moot once he was convicted); United States v. O’Shaughnessy, 772 F.2d 112, 113 (5th Cir. 1985) (per curiam) (observing that, after the defendant’s conviction, “[n]either pretrial detention nor release on pretrial bail may now be ordered”).  Because the proceeding before us concerns only the denial of his request for bail pending the parole revocation hearing and does not concern the Parole Commission’s decision to deny parole, we conclude that the case is moot.
	Accordingly, Mr. Hernandez’s appeal is DISMISSED as moot.
