Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit December 23, 2002, No. 01-35559; D.C. No. CV-99-00191-CO (Vanderhoof v. Thompson)

*491MEMORANDUM **

Athough we agree with petitioner that the district court erred in holding his case moot, we nonetheless reject his habeas petition because his ex post facto claim is without merit. See Downs v. Hoyt, 232 F.3d 1031, 1036 (9th Cir.2000).
