Before NATHANIEL R. JONES and MILBURN, Circuit Judges, and BAILEY BROWN, Senior Circuit Judge.

ORDER

1
Gaddis appealed from an order remanding him to the custody of the Attorney General for the purpose of undergoing a psychiatric examination to determine his competency.  The appellee has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as moot on the basis that the psychiatric evaluation has been completed, counsel for Gaddis has entered a notice of insanity defense and the criminal case is proceeding in the district court.  Appellant has not responded.


2
A case is moot if the requested relief has been granted or no live controversy remains.    Deakins v. Monaghan, 108 S.Ct. 523, 528-29 (1988);  Great W. Sugar Co. v. Nelson, 442 U.S. 92 (1979) (per curiam).  A case is moot if the court is not in a position to prevent that which has already occurred.  Neighbors Organized To Insure a Sound Environment, Inc. v. McArtor, 879 F.2d 174 (6th Cir.1989).  The psychiatric evaluation has been completed and the appeal is moot.


3
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the motion to dismiss be granted and the appeal be, and it hereby is, dismissed.  Rule 8, Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
