JUNIOR JUMPP (AC 38452) DiPentima, C. J., and Prescott and Lavery, Js.

Argued January 4—officially released February 14, 2017 (Appeal from Superior Court, judicial district of Hartford, Dewey, J.)

Robert T. Rimmer, assigned counsel, for the appel- lant (defendant).

Melissa Patterson, assistant state’s attorney, with whom, on the brief, were Gail P. Hardy, state’s attor- ney, and Carl R. Ajello III, supervisory assistant state’s attorney, for the appellee (state).

Opinion PER CURIAM. The defendant, Junior Jumpp, appeals from the denial of his motion for sentence modification made pursuant to General Statutes § 53a-39. The defen- dant has completed the sentence that was the subject of his motion. This court cannot grant the defendant any practical relief, and therefore his appeal is moot.

State v. Bradley, 137 Conn. App. 585, 587 n.1, 49 A.3d 297, cert. denied, 307 Conn. 939, 56 A.3d 950 (2012); see also State v. Boyle, 287 Conn. 478, 485–86, 949 A.2d 460 (2008); State v. Scott, 83 Conn. App. 724, 726–27, 851 A.2d 353 (2004). We also summarily reject the defen- dant’s claim that this case falls within the capable of repetition yet evading review exception to the mootness doctrine. See Loisel v. Rowe, 233 Conn. 370, 382–83, 660 A.2d 323 (1995).

The appeal is dismissed.
