                                     Assistant District Attorney, on the brief), for Charles J. Hynes,

    * The Clerk of Court is directed to amend the caption as set forth above.
       Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Eric

N. Vitaliano, Judge).

       UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND

DECREED that petitioner’s appeal be DISMISSED as moot.

       Petitioner James Bumpus appealed from the district court’s order denying his 28 U.S.C.

§ 2254 petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On April 22, 2011, while his appeal was pending,

Mr. Bumpus died. We therefore DISMISS the appeal as moot.




                                                  FOR THE COURT:
                                                  Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
