Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Rocklyn Hodge, a former federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition, in which he challenged his status as an armed career criminal based on Johnson v. United States, 559 U.S. 133, 130 S.Ct. 1265, 176 L.Ed.2d 1 (2010), and Descamps v. United States, — U.S. —, 133 S.Ct. 2276, 186 L.Ed.2d 438 (2013).
While this appeal was pending, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida granted Hodge’s authorized successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion, in which he challenged his status as an armed career criminal based on Johnson v. United States, — U.S. —, 135 S.Ct. 2551, 192 L.Ed.2d 569 (2015). The district court also resentenced Hodge to 120 months’ imprisonment with credit for time served and directed the Bureau of Prisons to release Hodge from custody as expeditiously as possible. We have confirmed that Hodge has been released from custody.
Accordingly, we deny Hodge leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal as moot. See United States v. Springer, 715 F.3d 535, 540 (4th Cir. 2013) (“Mootness is a jurisdictional question and thus may be raised sua sponte by a federal court at any stage of proceedings.”). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED
