Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Howard Lee Gorrell appeals the district court’s
dismissal of his claims against Martin O’Malley, the Governor of
Maryland, challenging a 2011 Maryland redistricting plan. The
record establishes that Gorrell moved to Washington state after
the commencement of this action. He is thus no longer a
resident of Maryland and lacks standing to challenge the
Governor’s redistricting plan. Because Gorrell lacks standing
to proceed, we lack jurisdiction to review his claims. See,
e.g., Shaw v. Hunt, 517 U.S. 899, 904 (1996); United States v.
Hays, 515 U.S. 737, 745 (1995). We therefore dismiss the
appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
