1Opinion of the Court

Undercofler, Justice.

This appeal is from a ruling of the habeas corpus court remanding applicant to the custody of the respondent. A motion to dismiss the appeal was made by the respondent on the basis that the appellant is no longer in custody but has been granted an "order of reprieve and order of conditional commutation” and because his sentence expires on February 7, 1974.

Since the appellant is no longer in the custody of the respondent and his sentence has expired, the appeal is dismissed. Sorrow v. Vickery, 228 Ga. 191 (184 SE2d 462).
