Holley v. United States
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided December 9, 1981No. 80-1124PublishedCited by 12 opinions
1Per curiam
In this appeal of the revocation of appellant’s work release privilege, 1 it is alleged that the trial court erred in not ensuring a fair work release revocation proceeding. We dismiss this appeal as moot because appellant has served his entire 180-day sentence and will suffer no collateral legal consequences as a result of the execution of judgment.
Where, as here, a judgment has been fully executed, and an appellate decision will not affect the rights and duties of the litigants, there is no longer a live controversy, and the appeal must be dismissed as moot. See Preiser v. Newkirk, 422 U.S.…
