*1 Before COLLOTON, MURPHY, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
____________
PER CURIAM.
*2 Federal prisoner Byron Welton appeals the district court’s order committing [1] him under 18 U.S.C. § 4245 for hospitalization and mental health treatment. During the pendency of this appeal, however, the district court granted the government’s motion to dismiss the commitment petition and to transfer Welton, citing a report that Welton had recovered and was ready for discharge. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
