48 Ohio St. 2d 185

In re Moore.

(No. 76-606

Decided December 15, 1976.)

Ms. Eugenia Hauber, Mr. Robert B. Newman and Ms. Janet R. Eaton, for appellant.

Mr. Simon L. Leis, Jr., prosecuting attorney, and Mr. James W. Harper, for appellee Melvin Gf. Eueger, Judge.

Mr. John Cruse, United States attorney, for appellee Veterans Administration Hospital.

*186 Per Curiam.

Following appellant’s escape, he was discharged from the rolls of the hospital where he had been temporarily committed. The Court of Appeals was correct, therefore, in dismissing appellant’s amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus, on the ground of mootness, because appellant was voluntarily absent from the hospital from which he sought release.*

Moreover, there is nothing in the record to support, appellant’s allegation of a claimed denial of effective assistance of counsel. In re Larkins (1976), 48 Ohio St. 2d 21.

Accordingly, the judgment of the Court of Appeals dismissing appellant’s amended petition for a writ of ha-beas corpus is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.

O’Neill, C. J., HbRbbet, Cosrigaw, Steen, Celebeezze, W. Beown and P. Beown, JJ., concur.
