Before PHILLIPS, WILKINSON, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.

OPINION

PER CURIAM:

1

Edward John White, Jr., a federal prisoner incarcerated in Tennessee, appeals the district court's order denying his request for bail pending appeal of the district court's dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1988) petition without prejudice. This Court recently upheld the district court's dismissal without prejudice and the mandate has issued. White v. United States, No. 92-6192 (4th Cir. Apr. 22, 1992) (unpublished).

2

Because White's appeal has been decided, his request for bail pending that appeal is moot. We vacate the decision denying bail and remand to the district court with directions to dismiss White's motion. See United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U.S. 36 (1950); Maryland Highways Contractors Ass'n v. Maryland, 933 F.2d 1246 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 60 U.S.L.W. 3342 (U.S. 1991).

3

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED
