          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC No. 4:03-CV-2252
                       --------------------

Before REAVLEY, WIENER and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Robert Lee Mudd, Texas prisoner # 424596, has appealed the

district court’s order dismissing his civil rights complaint for


     *
       Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

                               - 2 -

failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.    In

his complaint, Mudd challenged the application to him of a

Security Precaution Designator (SPD), pursuant to Texas

Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutional

Division, Administrative Directive 4.11 (AD 4.11), because of a

1995 escape attempt and related staff assault.

     Under AD 4.11, inmates with prior escape attempts not older

than 10 years are tagged with a SPD and are automatically housed

in medium custody.   The appellees have advised the court that

Mudd’s SPD was removed on July 22, 2005; that Mudd’s custody

classification is minimum custody (G2); and that he is housed in

a cellblock with minimum custody inmates.   Mudd concedes that his

SPD has been removed and that he is no longer housed in medium

custody.   Accordingly, this case no longer presents a live

controversy supporting this court’s jurisdiction.   See Sierra

Club v. Glickman, 156 F.3d 606, 619 (5th Cir. 1998).

     The appeal is DISMISSED.
