ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This matter is before the Administrative Law Judge Division (Division) pursuant to the Appellant's Notice of
Appeal filed on March 9, 2001, in which the Appellant appealed a final decision issued by the Department of
Corrections (Department). The Department filed a Motion to Dismiss with the Administrative Law Judge
Division on August 31, 2001, setting forth that the Appellant has been released from the custody of the
Department thereby rendering this appeal moot. See Mathis v. South Carolina State Highway Dep't, 260 S.C.
344, 195 S.E.2d 713 (1973) (An issue is moot when a judgment on the issue will have no practical effect on
an existing case or controversy.) Therefore, finding good cause,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal be DISMISSED.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
