United States Ninth Circuit

Habeas corpus petition is dismissed as moot, where: 1) petitioner sought reconsideration of the Bureau of Prisons' rejection of his application to the Second Chance Act's elderly offender pilot program, which no longer exists; 2) the requested relief is therefore no longer available; and 3) even on the merits, petitioner's claim fails, because the Bureau is not required to consider good time credits in evaluating eligibility for the elderly offender pilot program.
