## OPINION FILED:

November 8, 2011 
  
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COLE COUNTY 
The Honorable Jon Edward Beetem, Judge 
Division Three: James E. Welsh, P.J., James M. Smart, Jr., and Joseph M. Ellis, JJ. 
Per Curiam: 
Joseph Sanford appealed the circuit court's dismissal of his petition for declaratory 
judgment for failing to state a claim for which relief could be granted.  In his petition, 
Sanford sought a declaration of his right to be considered for "good time credit" while 
serving a sentence in the Missouri Department of Corrections.  Sanford appealed the 
dismissal to this court.  In the meantime, on October 25, 2011, while this appeal was 
pending, Sanford was released from confinement.  Accordingly, the appeal is now moot.  
Brown v. Moore, 126 S.W.3d 465 (Mo. App. 2004).  Appeal dismissed.
