petition. That petition challenged Singh’s classification by the Federal Bureau of Prisons
(“BOP”) as a “Deportable Alien,” rendering him ineligible for a transfer to a “camp,” or
for benefits under the Second Chance Act. See 18 U.S.C. § 3621(b); BOP Program
Statement 7310.04. As relief, Singh requested that the “Deportable Alien” classification
be removed, and the BOP ordered to conduct a new custody classification. D.Ct. ECF
No. 1 at 7.
The District Court sua sponte dismissed Singh’s petition for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction. Singh filed a timely notice of appeal. However, Singh has since been
released from BOP custody. See 3d Cir. ECF No. 19; see also Inmate Locator (bop.gov)
(last visited June 9, 2025). In light of this development, and despite Singh’s arguments to
the contrary, there is no relief for this Court to grant in this appeal. See Blanciak v.
Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir. 1996) (“If developments occur
during the course of adjudication that eliminate a plaintiff’s personal stake in the outcome
of a suit or prevent a court from being able to grant the requested relief, the case must be
dismissed as moot.”).
Accordingly, this appeal is now moot, and we will dismiss it on that basis.
