United States v. Guerrero-Chavez

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit October 30, 2008

United States v. Guerrero-Chavez, 298 F. App'x 745 (10th Cir. 2008)

Opinion

ORDER AND JUDGMENT **

TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judge.

This matter is before the court following our receipt of notice that defendant Jose *746 Antonio Guerrero-Chavez was deported to Mexico on August 18, 2008. In an order dated October 15, 2008, we directed the parties to file written responses addressing whether the appeal is now moot. On October 22, the government filed a response confirming the deportation and requesting dismissal of the appeal on mootness grounds. See United States v. Vera-Flores, 496 F.3d 1177, 1180-81 (10th Cir. 2007). Counsel for Mr. Guerrero-Chavez joins in that assessment.

Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.

This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3. In addition, we note that by order of the court dated October 14, 2008, this matter was submitted on the briefs. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2)(C); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G).
