denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenging his exclusion from rehabili-
tation programs and halfway houses. Because he has been released from the
custody of the Bureau of Prisons, respondents’ motion to dismiss the appeal as
moot is GRANTED. See Calderon v. Moore, 518 U.S. 149, 150 (1996). Respon-
dents’ alternative motion for an extension of time to file their brief is DENIED
as unnecessary.
      The appeal is DISMISSED.
