PER CURIAM:

     James Guy Arnold appeals the district court orders denying

relief    on    his    28    U.S.C.     §   2241      (1994)    petitions      in    these

consolidated      cases.           We   find       Arnold’s    appeals   to    be    moot.

Accordingly, we deny certificates of appealability and dismiss the

appeals.       Further, we deny Arnold’s motion to proceed in forma

pauperis on appeal.               We dispense with oral argument because the

facts    and   legal    contentions         are      adequately    presented        in   the

materials      before       the    court    and      argument    would   not    aid      the

decisional process.




                                                                               DISMISSED
