United States v. Joshua Calhoun
Opinion
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Joshua Calhoun in his appeal of a resentencing proceeding has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Calhoun has filed a response and requested the appointment of counsel.
During the pendency of this appeal, Calhoun completed his sentence of imprisonment, and he has no further term of supervised release to serve. The appeal is, therefore, moot. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7, 118 S.Ct. 978, 140 L.Ed.2d 43 (1998); Bailey v. Southerland, 821 F.2d 277, 278 (5th Cir. 1987). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED as moot, and counsel’s motion to withdraw and Calhoun’s motion for the appointment of counsel are DENIED as unnecessary.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
