Before: POOLE, BEEZER, and T.G. NELSON, Circuit Judges.
Edward Robert Wade, a former Washington state prisoner, filed pro se an appeal challenging the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 petition. Since filing his appeal, Mr. Wade died. Consequently, we dismiss his appeal as moot.
DISMISSED.
