BELCHER, Commissioner.

This is an appeal from an order ‍‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‍entered in a habeas corpus proceeding remanding appellant to custody without bail.

It appears that ‍‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‍since the order was entered appellant has been tried and convicted of the offense of ‍‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‍murder with malice aforethought, for which he was held, and has accepted a life ‍‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‍sentence imposed by a jury.

The question of his right to bail is moot and ‍‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‍the appeal is dismissed.

Opinion approved by the Court.
