Marco Antonio Martinez-Puente pled guilty to illegal reentry after deportation. He was sentenced to 12 months of imprisonment, to be followed by one year of non-reporting supervised release. On appeal, Martinez-Puente argues only that his sentence is unreasonable because it is greater than necessary to accomplish the goals of sentencing under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).

We do not reach the merits of the issue that he presents. Because Martinezr-Puente has prior to this date been released from federal custody and removed from *89 the United States, he is subject only to an undischarged term of supervised release. We cannot grant what he requests because resentencing would require Martinez-Puente to be present at a hearing to consider a new sentence; his deportation creates a legal bar to such an appearance. United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 383 (5th Cir. 2007). This appeal therefore has become moot.

The appeal is DISMISSED.
