Michael George Bruno, Sr., a Florida death row inmate, appeals from the district court’s denial of his first federal habeas corpus petition, brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. This case is currently under submission after briefing and oral argument.
On October 24, 2012, Mr. Bruno’s counsel filed a motion to dismiss appeal because he was notified on October 23 that Mr. Bruno died of natural causes. The Florida Department of Corrections’ website now also indicates that Mr. Bruno is deceased. See Offender Search, Florida Department of Corrections, (last updated October 23, 2012).
